amazing to watch this! one idea, like japanese swordsmen, how about not pushing the blade straigt but in a angle, or in a curve? i mean sideways also. will give much finer and stronger cut the tested this 2 times in mythbusters and still could not figure it out, just tried to swing the sword in pure simple rotating movement, which isn't anything you see swirdmasters do

The part where he's testing the blade motion and you see the bandages on his fingers I found a bit… disturbing.

He even called out the unintended contact!

The embedded advertisement at the end was most enjoyable (a first for me)

Thank you for that comment. I had initially skipped that section and went back and watched it after reading this.

Such a weird way of flexing "I have workshop worth hundreds thousands of pounds and have all the time I need for vanity projects".

He has over quarter of a million subscribers so presumably it's his full time job?

Although now for all technical blog posts to HN I feel I should respond: such a weird way of flexing "I have a 6 figure tech job".
