For an economical solution, Katanas-samurai offers cutting mats for the practice of "Tameshigiri"
All practitioners will find the actual cutting test (Tameshigiri or battodo) enriching in order to perfect their holding of the sword (Te No Uchi), the positions (Shi-sei 至誠), the cutting angles and the application of the forces to be exerted, in order to realize the differences when it is necessary to cut a Tatami Omote (beach mat made of rice straw rolled up, tied and moistened beforehand). It is possible to increase the difficulty by inserting a green Bamboo in the center of the tatami.
For those who prefer an easier Tameshigiri target, these Omote are the perfect choice. Compared to the more expensive Wara, fewer cuts are required (3/4 cuts).
Each mat measures approximately 180cm x 60cm unrolled. Attention if you use our cutting support, it will be necessary to adjust the height of this one so that it can have a total height of approximately 170 cm (Support + mat).
When prepared as a target, this smaller size allows about 3/4 cuts depending on the practices (Tameshigiri or battodo).
