[He slows down and breaks down the movements a bit more visibly. This is lesson one after all - getting a feel for how a sword can move (and therefore demonstrating his point on why proper swordgrip is important).
Pretty good for a first time, you know, little shaky or not, especially since you're five. Some of these moves most kids have more trouble with - not developed enough muscle co-ordination or movement range.]
Oh? What's your favorite subject?
[Bringing back that sword to his right side, hilt just above waist height, sheathed blade straight out like the muzzle of a rifle, and drawing it back in preparation for a thrusting strike. The double handed grip only increased the power.
He could punch through steel in this pose if he was serious. But since he's not and he's just demonstating for teaching purposes...
Thrust.
It's not going to be punching through anything but air. But even slowed down, done by a five year old, and maybe a little off, there's still power to be felt in it.]
