@ashmanathletics: Day 120: really focusing on footwork. I’ve found spinning to be a more efficient way of movement than linear steps, and it complements the swings. Moving around the sword to create strong angles that setup the next swing is the goal. . You can get your own Dragonslayer on ashmanathletics.com ⚔️😁⚔️ the link is in my bio too!
Absolutely insane work considering even just a normal montante will shred your back if you swing it wrong. Idk if people are truly grasping how wildly impressive this is beyond it looking cool (which it does). You pick up a normal montante and you're going to be whipping it around like it's nothing Holy

just a little bit of a casual joke but if you build enough muscle mass doing that with a that training sword when you pick up a regular broadsword you're going to be able to hit it and move it with three times efficiency due to muscle mass and muscle memory

Everyone talking about strength (which is important) not realizing dexterity, coordination, balance, and footwork is the secret to pulling this off.

It’s impressive don’t get me wrong, but if the goal is truely to wield it like guts, you’re gonna have to stop depending on momentum to carry your swings. Gains are gains tho and you likely already know this. Keep up the good work!

I love how all my life ive heard "a buster sword would rip your arms off. now that im an adult, all the other kids that grew up on anime that says effort has no limit decided. "maybe youre just not willing to train hard enough."

up the weight and you will end up with finer control of a lighter version later

That's badass! Have you thought about incorporating some Chinese war sword techniques, specifically the low swing spin thing. You could tie some of these swings together with it. Looks kinda like a spinning pistol squat if that makes any sense.

Really appreciate the angles you've added, each swing seems like it would actually connect and cut here rather than just bonking an enemy with the flat side of the sword haha, mad good improvement!
