Shoge

The Grandmaster demonstrating techniques with the rarely taught Shoge: Here the opponent uses a staff to simulate a sword.  The grandmaster performs a swift evasive maneuver as the opponent slashes downward, at the same time slashing the shoge upwards inflicting critical cut on the opponent's arm, then a second downward strike into the stomach

On a second attempt the opponent is brought down by a strike to the arms by the shoge blade, as the Grandmaster evades the downward strike.  The opponent is then finished off
