Description
Katana reference. Threatening by breaking the sword seal by pushing forward on the tsuba and starting to draw. basically saying you're ready to cut if the other doesn't back down. If the other backs down the sword can be relaxed back. But if the other doesn't, the draw can be continued. At this point and for the first start of the draw, the cut/ block etc doesn't have to committed, allowing for a change of the cut/ block based on the opponents actions.

Please excuse the bins in the background, I would have loved to do these in a nice environment with controlled lighting etc but that' s not available to me
