Have you ever seen a Japanese sword slash smoothly? It's not just because the blade is sharp; it's also because of the technique. Although katanas are famous for their sharpness, their blades are actually thin and can bend if the angle of the slash is incorrect or the target is too hard. In training, straw rolls are usually used as a slashing medium. However, slashing is not about strength; it's about technique and experience. Mastery comes from harmonizing with the sword.
