Not sure this is a great idea with a Katana. There's some history of katana breaking when being used to strike with the back of the blade. Though it's probably fine if used with katana with that don't have particularly wide hamon patterns.
@@kitsune-klan That's good but, just to be more precise, it's more about structure and forging process than modern vs historic. A spring steel katana isn't going to have this type of problem. A katana forged through differential hardening, even if made with modern steel alloys, is probably poorly suited for your technique.
@@temperededge As pointed out there are some sources, including historical ones indicating this type of use. I think if it indeed hits with the tip it is less strain than if the back is used for blocking, as taught in some schools. Yet I guess it would really need a try...
Interesting. I will try 👍
Please let us know about your experience!
amazing

We tried it with modern steel katanas, though not with historical ones. Not sure if anyone dares to.
