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
