Hugh Knight on test-cutting

<< < (3/3)

Todd Sullivan:
I'm looking forward to Roger Siggs class in test cutting at WMAW in Sept.  Ed, if you make it next month I have about 20 plastic water juggs if  want to test cut at my July event.  I dislike pool noodles.  :)

Cheers

Sir Edward:

That sounds good. The pool noodles definitely take some getting used to (and the SwordFodder targets for similar reason). You know, I could load up my SwordFodder stuff and bring it, I have about half the starter-set's targets left.

I definitely need more practice. I'm much more used to hitting people with various trainers. :)

Sir William:

--- Quote from: Michael Edelson on 2008-07-02, 20:38:00 ---You need to learn and understand the feedback that happens when your sword actually strikes something, and that's not something you can learn from a pell.  Swordsmanship without test cutting is like boxing without a heavy bag.

--- End quote ---

Even if I didn't figure this to be true from personal experience, it makes a good deal of sense to me.  Might turn it into a sig of some sort; well done Mr. Edelson.

Mr. Hugh Knight has an incredibly high opinion of his study; I find people like that hard to talk to if you don't agree w/them implicitly.
