You analysis is spot on imo. Blocking and power assisted strikes seem to be most likely use of half swording. Half swording in a grappling context, as seen in some HEMA, seems, in all likelihood, a good way to injure yourself with your own weapon. Combat is dynamic and the chances of presenting the blade edge or point towards yourself is very high. Btw, I sent you an email with username in the title. Curious to find out if you think I am crazy or not.

Is there any kenjutsu school that trains to use the sword like this? If there's, do they have videos? I'd love to see it in a kata or something similar.

[@AntonyCummins]

I mention the sources in the video. But see sengoku studies channel aswell

Tachibana no Norimitsu is probably rolling in his grave right now and furious that he's being remembered not for his poetry or statecraft, but for stabbing a ruffian. But, I'm sorry my aristocratic friend, sword fighting is just cooler than poetry. Don't know what to tell you except maybe don't look down on warriors as uncouth and just admit that sword fighting is cool.

Time to dig out that roll of duct tape! 😂 I did the exact same thing with my bokutō about 20 odd years ago… 🤦🏼‍♂️🤣 Aahhh… you live and you learn, eh…? 😉
