The fact remains that there are several perfectly legitimate Koryu which do not cut. MJER is one such system.
This upsets the tameshigiri crowd who put great stock in cutting, as well they should. It is after all a part of their training system. It is not a part of mine, at least not officially. That does not make what we do any less effective. One ryu does it. One does not. Some koryu practice with fukaro shinai, some do not. Does that make the koryu who do not any less effective necessarily?
Let's not devolve into throwing mud at the core belief structures of different koryu.
See I knew all the love for iai was too good to be true.
