- Primary study focus
- The continuous hand-hilt-blade direction above the bent front leg and longer rear-leg diagonal.
- 30-second exercise
- Draw the sword direction and the two foot positions first. Add the front knee, pelvis and chest as a simple angled arrangement.
- 2-minute exercise
- Trace wrist to handle to blade, then compare this line with the bent front thigh and extended rear leg. Keep the sword a rigid object rather than a curved motion trail.
- Reference limitation
- This is a figure-and-prop composition, not a claim of historically or technically correct sword use.
