Goza Mat Challenge! SamuraiSwordStore customized 9260 Nodachi, how many cuts can I get? #shorts @SamuraiJames

Taking the goza mat challenge from Shogo. How many cuts can I get from a single mat? Using my SamuraiSwordStore customized 9260 nodachi sword (Japanese).

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 European sword, my Arms & Armor Bannockburn:
