can someone explain why he takes time to hit each block and then plays in open air without hitting . i need to know fir my better understanding of this martial art and knowledge
It's all battodo: the presence of the sageo and the orientation of the sword handle as well as the final sword end "pat" as he sheaths the sword are the main indicators. There are battodo katas between each set of cuts.
Всё зависит от того что за вид мечей будет, каждый вид придумали не из-за того что кузнецам было скучно)) а от того когда,где и против чего))) но самый оптимальный вариант для боя против без доспешного и мало зашишенного это шашка.
Actually his technique is excellent. Even today at 80+ years old he is still at it. It's only straw, but it's very dense straw that's been compressed in advance. The point isn't that he's cutting the toughest thing in the world, but that he's cutting a standardized medium that all present can relate to, and doing it very well.
