If a sword swing achieves sufficient speed and power, the blade can slice through a bamboo tree or a sheaf of straw. Machii.) This technique ( batto-jutu) uses a real sword ( shinken) to cut bundled straw (a rolled tatami mat) standing unsupported on the floor without knocking it over. Thus, there are three different patterns in this kata. If the retainer is lower in social rank, the messenger unsheathes his sword immediately after a silent bow if their ranks are equal, the messenger places his left hand and then his right hand on the floor before unsheathing his sword if the retainer’s rank is higher, the messenger places both hands on the floor before unsheathing his sword. When the messenger delivers his greeting, he instantly unsheathes his sword and kills the disobedient retainer. The situation is tense since the retainer understands that the messenger has come to kill him. Machii.) In this situation, a retainer who disobeyed his lord sits facing a seated messenger, who must be his executioner. You turn your sword in the correct direction to parry your opponent’s sword thrust, and then hold your sword aloft, swing it downwards, and deliver the coup de grâce. You maneuver your body in sune-gakoi form to block this leg attack and position your sword before your body. As foreseen, your opponent tries to strike your left leg with his sword while he is lying down. You sheathe your sword while expecting your adversary to strike back. However, your opponent quickly dodges your first blow and retreats. First, you attack your opponent on the temple with your sword tip. Machii.) Situation in which a swordsman (“you”) kills an adversary seated before you. This kata teaches you to unsheathe your sword and prevent it from striking the beam of the gate above you, as well as use your hip joint to extend your stride and keep your body lower in level, so you can hold your sword as low as possible while keeping it aloft. Then you spin forward again and cut down the adversary in front to finish him off. Unsheathing your sword, you stab an adversary from the front in his chest, then pivot to the rear, holding your sword aloft, and cut down another adversary from behind. Machii.) Situation in which a swordsman (“you”) is sandwiched between various adversaries while passing through a gate ( mon). Using your sword handle to push your friend to safety while unsheathing your sword, you strike the attacker’s shoulder with your weapon, slashing him toward your right knee, and deliver the coup de grâce.
As the attacker sneaks in and tries to grab your sword handle from the front, you prevent this by standing up, leaving your opponent hidden behind your friend. With many comrades tightly packed into a small space, one fighter who sits on your right side, separated from you by a friend, betrays you and attempts to strike you with his sword. More Effective counterattack skill ( ouji-waza) when a swordsman (“you”) is besieged in a weak fighting position.
