Don't be a 45-degree fool

The "45 degree" is often taught as the standard angle for L/R alternate cuts during kiri-kaeshi, but very stupidly, without clarifying where the pivot should be positioned or where exactly the cuts should land as the result.

Depending on the position of the pivot, the "45 degree" method can be pretty dangerous (& incorrect).

This is the reason why some people bash their partner's head almost from side to side while kiri-kaeshi, bursting the blood vessels in their partner's eyeballs, causing blood-shot eyes and mild concussion.

This isn't OK. This is dangerous and stupid.


As above, a valid 'Ippon' by L/R Men cuts are only awarded for the strikes no lower than the top-strings on a Men.

There's no such cut as "bashing from the side" exists, so, don't do it during kiri-kaeshi. Where that came from?

Be reasonable, don't be a 45-degree fool.
