1. these rolls were each a tad thinner than typical to represent a human neck, so cutting through more than 1 is tough – these were students in various stages of training – some good form, some pretty gnarly. Have to be loose, have good body unity and not over-extend – hard to explain but too stiff and the stand goes down, also proper angle or cut doesn’t go well.

6. I like how Trump decapitates his enemies. Comey, McCabe, Strozyk, Clinton, and soon Rosenstein. He’s sharpening his sword right now, he’s got many more to decapitate.

7. I was a master swordsman under the Japanese Emperor Jujitsu – and earned his eternal favor by taking the heads of 30,000 peasants one afternoon.

   His Supreme Majesty’s Emissary had entered the Province that morning and the Headman didn’t bow the prescribed 30.327 mm – an obvious insult which could NEVER be forgiven (his bow was only 29.987 mm).

   So, I got to work! Made these guys look like pikers!

12. Wow. That last guy had the skills to deliver the neck to navel cut written about by James Clavell in his novel, Gai-jin. Based on the true events in Sept. 1862 known as the Namamugi Incident.

    Tameshigiri-yō nihontō, Japanese Sword for Trial cutting. But why use bundles of straw? When you could go old school and whack a Japanese peasant or an arrogant British adventurer and trader.
