Goza Mat Challenge! A&A Bannockburn, how many cuts can I get? #shorts @SamuraiJames

Uploaded December 2021 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

Taking the goza mat challenge from Shogo. How many cuts can I get from a single mat? Using my A&A 1 of 1 Bannockburn sword (medieval european).

The peg was not set right and was too far in the stand, so the mat fell over on a number of cuts. It made it like a halfway between a fully spiked mat, and a freestanding mat.

Check out my challenge with a Japanese sword, my SamuraiSwordStore customized 9260 Nodachi:
