All cuts in Sword have a different 'feel' or 'sound' to them expressed either with a Kiai (that could be either internal or external) or through some other type of 'feeling'. This of course would depend on the type of cut early, tip, finishing...etc, but it could also depend on the direction of the cut ie: virtical, oblique, horizontal...
How do you all treat the 'sound', 'feel' of your differing cuts? And does this feeling have an impact on the resulting cut ie: power, speed, continuity?
Food for thought...
