Nice work! It’s tough when they change things up in the finals, especially when it’s something you haven’t had time to try or train!

Respect. Those final feats, as Sean was explaining them, looked way rough! So I highly doubt anyone in the audience was anything but supportive.

Looks like a really interesting couple of twists on the usual cutting feats. Good work.

That dowel parry and cut would stress me the #*@% out.

The counter rotation cut is interesting. Working with Meyer there are instances of cuts (usually thwarts) with a counter-step, but we still usually drive the back hip forward even if that foot doesn't go with it. Here the hips actually have to oppose?

Yeah, this was strange. The hips had to rotate away from the direction of the cut. I think if you have enough upper body strength the muscle through a mat without needing the rest of your body to follow through, this is possible. The other three finalists did this with little effort haha. It was a really tough feat for me, but I think if I worked on it more I could pull it off eventually.

@@BrittanySaintLeafy It's awkward, but I think with practice you should still be able to put your body into it. I imagine it would be more like the step pulls you into the cut rather than the normal drive, if that makes sense? I've recently been thinking of power generation in terms of expansion and contraction through the core. Normally, we initiate a step with a contraction and expand into the strike, but here, the contraction continues all the way through the strike. Maybe. Have to experiment. Be a lot of fun for the obliques and mid back. :p

Just from a technical standpoint, not sure what editing software you use, but your videos are very quiet compared to other channels on youtube. You should consider normalizing your gain to -1 to -6db depending on your personal preference. It's kinda hard to hear you on my phone if I'm outside for whatever reason.

For this tournament I was not allowed to use my own sword, we all had to use the same sword which was an Albion Earl.

Not so much anymore. I’m always coaching my students, I don’t have time to compete anymore :)
