Samurai-like Stroke
Strokes
Jin Kazama Asked 13 years ago
Hey Guys,
In what situation will you use the Japanese Penhold Grip Stroke??? (The one that mimics a sword drawing attack like samurais... ^^)
I'm not sure if it's for attack or defense, and I'm not sure if it can be played farther or in a different position...
Hehe..

Hi Jin,
You can use the Japanese penhold grip for all of your attacking strokes. This is a grip that has been used successfully at the very highest level.
It is more difficult to play the backhand with this grip but it is adaptable.
It is difficult to use the penhold grip for away from the table defensive strokes. It has been used at a high level but it is not very common. It is easier to use the shakehand grip for defensive play.
