Dundas Dojo, 12 March 2011:
Jonathan Lim, Michael Tang & sensei Fricke:

Paul Marlow practicing migi & hidari kesa-giri:
Cutting keasa-giri in Nakamura ryu battodo the tip of the blade, when in yodan, should move forward instead of being pulled back first. Comparing the two practice sessions clearly show the difference between the two actions.
