Most martial arts sword cuts in one minute (rice straw)

This is the world record for the most martial arts sword cuts in one minute

My name is Alex Gaffroy. I come from winning Switzerland. And a challenge like this record is a test for both the swordsmen, but also for the blade he wields

Hi, I'm a plate smith. He forged a sword, especially for this record

It's a lansax, Ai. Specifically for this world record attempt, Alex had to use rolled-up rice straw mats as his target

The density of such a mat is to approximate that a fledge

My personal goal was 100 cuts. I set myself a pace and I tried to maintain that speed during the whole minute

minute. I also had to get a lot of stamina to get through this minute with the muscles

take that challenge as well. I think that was the main goal. Training involved many cuts. It was

a practice for me, but as well for two minutes. I made with him about 600 cuts through different

materials. Rito had to sharpen the sword just one time before the attempt. And I think that was a great

He was sold for his skills as a blacksmith as well. And another important point was the technique

Short, quick blows that were intense enough to cut through the mats in the right place

The marked sectors were a point we had to get to achieve the record

Four. Three, three, two, two, eight. Woo-hoo
