useless prat! If any of you guys or ladies here on FA learn from him or his "teachers" (and they are famous) please do yourself a favour and join a mcdojo, it'll be better.

Does Karate even have any sword techniques? Doesn't the very definition of Karate mean "empty hand" or something?>

A sword is not a baseball bat and should be held or swung like one.
His right hand should be just under the tsuba while the left hand little finger should be at the very bottom of the handle, leaving roughly a "fists" measurement between the hands. A sword cut is made with the entire body, not the arms. By holding the sword the way he was, he would have had to use muscle to cut. Essentially, you push up "through" the sword to raise it and guide it with the top hand, like cutting wood.

There's also the more worrying fact that despite referring to his style as "Combat Martial Arts" all the way through the text, in the big blue banner heading he has "Combat MATERIAL Arts"...>

It's the art of accumulating material wealth by pretending to teach combat :lol:>
