New! Tameshigiri Videos

Many thanks to Peter James and all of his students from the School of Japanese Swordsmanship in Western Australia!

Last night we had the opportunity to take footage of Oni Forge's 1050 model in action during the dojo's practice cutting session.

The new videos should be available on the web shortly, please look forward to it!

These models were also previously tested and filmed in California on tatami omote from the Mugen Dachi Company. This medium simulates the density of human limbs for realistic tameshigiri.
