The brain is a funny thing. This is how you know that you're some special kind of knife dork... Other people see a truck load of massive joints. What's the first thing the knife maker sees? Giant tameshigiri mats...

All of the tameshigiri I've seen/cut have multiple ties along the length and aren't wrapped in anything. :munchin

Yep. Typically it is one Tatami Omote mat, soaked in water, and then rolled and tied (they're faster to prep if you use rubber bands). You can stack them if you want a thicker target, or if you're feeling froggy, you can leave a hole in the center of the target so that you can insert a wooden dowel. Pool noodles are a cheap and more readily available substitute. I enjoy cutting both. :D Pool noodles are nice because they're more floppy - if the blade isn't sharp or your angle of attack is off, you know immediately because they'll whap over to the side rather than being cut cleanly.

Back when I was a young buck private, if a guy was zoning out, you would walk past him, and as you did so, you would slap him in the junk with the back of your hand. He falls over. Everybody in the squad laughs. Nobody was immune. We called it the combat frap. Did wonders for situational awareness.
Urban Dictionary has some pretty hilarious definitions of what frapping is. When one considers the phallic nature of blades/swords and cutting, not to mention the targets, some of those are pretty apt.
I feel that a lot of sword and blade training these days is just mental masturbation. He deploys his blade. I deploy mine. We duel. The likelihood of that happening is practically nil. But the training is good for building discipline and a strategic mindset. And it's also extremely satisfying if you're a weirdo like me who just likes to cut stuff.
