How to draw the Japanese Sword quickly! This information comes from the Okuden series by Roger Wehrhahn. The clip starts with a Nukitsuke/Noto repetition drill which entails drawing and closing the sword 5 times with speed. Next, we go on to points #10 & #14 of the 15 points essential for drawing the sword quickly and more importantly safely. In this section saya alignment and harmonizing are explained. On to the quick draw prep drill which breaks the draw into 2 parts!
