Suburi - sword swinging exercise.
Suburi helps one to utilize one's physical body fully, by maximizing speed, power and distance, when cutting with a katana.
There are as many suburi techniques and methods taught as there are sword styles around. With experience, suburi is tailored to each individual’s ability and physical make-up.
However, there are certain basics that make up efficient suburi and should be adhered to always. These include proper posture, correct footwork, sword-grip, swinging and attack angle; all integrate parts of suburi.
