“Diagonal Cuts Are Stronger Than Straight Cuts!!“ ...THINK AGAIN!!
The debate of “which attack is the strongest” has been going on in our comments. It first started with “straight swings are weak and thursts are stronger,” and after we posted this video, it’s now “Kesa (diagonal) cuts are stronger!”
Kesa was originally the name of the vestments monks wore from the left shoulder to the right waist. Cutting along this angle is called “Kesa-kiri.”
So today, Seki sensei, the 22nd headmaster of Asayama Ichiden Ryu with 400 years of history, will introduce 4 Kata that fight back against Kesa cuts. At the end of the video, he will explain how the Kesa cuts could be weaker than straight swings, so please watch this video until the end.
