Iaijutsu Cut: Reverse Draw

Iaijutsu Cut: Reverse Draw was a Rank 4 Close Combat kata that taught how to make offhand draw cuts, a particularly unexpected move, especially among reputable duelists. Taking up a reverse grip with the blade down using the off hand, the warrior makes a quick upward draw, cutting for their foe’s face or torso. While this draw leaves the user vulnerable, such an unorthodox draw can often end the fight before it begins. Path of Waves, p. 89
