Sanpo lets you strike up to 3 opponents while Sanda lets you strike a opponent 3 times. With the Sanpo, while it says "up to" it means there shouldn`t be 3 opponents necessarily. So does that mean I could use Sanpo at one opponent?

Just want to make sure here, thanks.

You can use it on upto three people all your doing is thrusting the sword, It wont how ever allow you to hit the same person three times for example as its just one movement.

Sandangamaegiri is a totally different technique, its a combo on one person. Rather than an single strike like the first one

It's all about your body movement/position. Yes you can use three direction cut on one opponent however it still has the effect of striking in three directions so like... Yeah. You strike forwards, left and right as in you have to shift to the left and right.

Oh, damn I missed it saying "thrust" with the sanpo tech.


and I thought so jim jim.
