Cutting 4 femur sized PPR pipes cored crazy target
Lancelot challenges a crazy target with 4 femur sized PPR cored with Simon Maru, after watching a mainland China swordsman did a similar thing, to figure out some unanswered questions in his mind.
Comparing test cutting targets
Due to some people have the wrong idea that tatami is more difficult to cut than newspapers roll + PPR pipe core simulating limbs, I had to make this video to showcase the difference.
The person in the video was a remote student of mine, with 9 months experience at the time of recording, as reporting in his learning progress. He cut 7 rolls of mats fine, but struggled with thigh target. You can see for yourself.

Hood Muillican tries out the upper arm target I made
Hood Mullican cut upper arm target with LK Crossbowmen Dao, damaged it in the process. Getting stuck in the bone would very likely to damage the blade.
Thus one has to make sure one can cut through the whole thing when cutting such targets, to ensure better survivability of the sword. Horizontal cuts and free standing target cuts are also more risky, due to the nature that the target will tumble and rotate in the air, with a portion of the edge stuck in the bone.

Hood Muillican tries out the Upper Arm target I made
Hood Mullican who cut these targets reported: I'd give my cutting a 4 and the target a 9 (I deducted some because my stand was just too short for what I wanted to do, lol). I've never cut a hard target before, so this is very much feeling things out. When the cut goes wrong, it feels really bad. When it's a good cut, it almost doesn't feel like anything. It's interesting that even the "bad" cuts still went to the bone simulant - but had very different feedback from those that went clean through.
