[@adhiwu]

thank you for the knowledge, i have question about nito kirikaeshi, how to do it correctly? it's heavy to do sayumen with one hand, should i do more weight exercise for my arm?

[@herrlogi]

check some of his older video's it has a great demostration

[@Koggelxander]

It just takes lots of training to strengthen your shoulder and wrist. Hold it a bit higher on the tsuka if you struggle too much,you rather want to take care of yourself than overstrain yourself and get a wrist injury. (This happened to me) Are you asking specifically about technique or the sequence of kiri-kaeshi?

[@danieleimhoff8952]

thanks so much for the video!

[@adhiwu]

@@Koggelxander i'm asking about the correct form/movement for nito kirikaeshi

[@Koggelxander]

@@adhiwu As the guy above me mentioned go and watch Dash's Video on it but I will explain anyway. I do it this way: Okuri ashi footwork with daito hitting the 1st set of Men cuts. Ayumi ashi footwork with shoto doing the men cuts. Daito strikes last men , fumi komi with opposite foot. I hope this helps, if I didn't clearly enough please tell me. 😅
