Hideaki Takahashi sensei (former World Champion) on why top-level men strikes look different from average ones: The target is not the center of men but the opponent's left eye area. This angle, combined with right hand and foot forward, creates a natural cutting path that maximizes both power and strategic effect. It also shifts the opponent's men off your centerline. This is not a trick. It is what correct kamae and footwork naturally produce when you aim with precision.

Here is translation of the important parts":

Regarding the Determination of "Justifiable Reason" for Carrying and Transporting Registered Swords

1. Basic Concept

Article 21 of the Fi****ms and Swords Control Act prohibits the carrying and transportation of registered swords except when there is "justifiable reason." The "justifiable reason" in this article should be determined in light of accepted social standards, given that the purpose of the sword registration system is to protect and utilize swords with artistic value. While this article recognizes the legitimacy of carrying and transporting registered swords by advanced kendo or iaido practitioners for kata (forms) or practice, or by swordsmiths conducting test cuttings to check the condition of swords before crafting them, it should be understood that carrying and transporting registered swords is not justifiable and is not permitted in principle if it is for commercial purposes under the guise of cultural gain, or if it poses a threat to the prevention of harm. 2. Guidelines for Judgment

Acts such as the use of registered swords by persons without the appropriate qualifications or skills for temporary entertainment not only pose a threat to the prevention of harm, but also deviate from the purpose of the registration system for swords with artistic value. Therefore, the use of registered swords cannot be considered an act based on "legitimate reasons," and is therefore not permitted in principle.

.. In order to preserve and promote culture, use of registered swords based on "legitimate reasons" is permitted only when the organizers, etc., use them to cut objects with registered swords at public events, traditional events such as festivals, and performing arts performances, etc., and only if they are in line with the spirit of the registration system and take precautions to prevent harm. However, in principle, the use of registered swords by an unspecified number of tourists, etc., who are not legitimate owners or swordsmiths, for temporary entertainment purposes is not permitted.
