Hello. On 21st Feb 2010 we helped a local TV station to shoot their martial arts program. The host is a friend of mine and he wanted to show his enthusiasm in armed martial arts. We recorded some test cut and sparring, including cutting pork arms and over 3" wet newspapers roll. It kinda showed how difficult it was to cut the newspapers roll by the contrast.

My friend Tom Biliter bought a camera capable of doing 300 fps and 600 fps and shot a test cutting video for me. The newspapers roll was 5" thick.

And here is the video of our sparring, my Deva slayer vs his sword and buckler. The outcome was 31:31 from frame by frame video review. I tried my best. Tom was really good. The local TV station was shooting us at that time and stopped our practice frequently. :S

The first TV interview has been broadcast and here's the video I captured from the TV.

This is the final version. The first cut still had room of improvement. So I adjusted further and the second and the third cut showed exactly what it should be like.
