Re: Tom's sparring day
I've received plenty bruises from your hits on arm, shoulder and neck. My neck required realignment that cost 500 HKD on Monday! LOL! Guess I'm out on this Sunday but I've found some other guys to come spar with you!

Tom's sparring day
Tom has paid us a visit again and here are his sparring videos of the day. He'll be coming several times within this month. Originally we called today's sparring off due to heavy raining during the week. Eventually, it was partially sunny in the afternoon so we went on sparring with whoever shows up...

Re: Female student test cut
Hhehe thanks. It's a quite difficult technique that many of my students could not master and she has only learned 1.5 months in total so far, including a vertical cut already! Thus she got talent definitely.

Wrapped newspapers on a white PP pipe and performed a combo-cut on the target. Then I cut the last part of the target with a left handed diagonal cut.

Re: The 3rd private tourney
Flying sword is definitely a special case, not good for every situation. For example, if you only have 1 opponent, or/and if you are not limited to 1 sword, or/and if the sword is retractable through a rope tied to the hilt, it won't be that "unwise". Sometimes it's worth the risk, especia...

King and Kie didn't show up anymore.
Kie is busy with his books and videos, yes. We still chat.
Today the chairman of the armor club is going to pay me a visit again, taking someone over to spar with me... we'll see.

My friend is not as experienced as I am. His club also sparred much less than I do. Also, when he did spar, he was always sparring with his colleagues in the club, using very upright stance with middle guards testing out each other before commencing an attack, like Kendo. So it was the first time he...
