Attacking a target from left and right with 4 consecutive cuts.  

This little exercise develops a swordsman's cutting angle. The blade's attacking angle has to be true at all times; not just when cutting from a stationary position, but more importantly from any position while in motion.

Observe each cut done in this video. Be it from the right or left all cuts are clean and near 45 degree - a sign of good sword-control.
