Your sword is your hand, your hand is your mind, your mind is your spirit.

When your spirit cuts deep, what need for a sword?
Teaching students?! Totally depends on "normal practice" within your dojo.

Stuff can be demonstrated in a relatively casual manner which requires plenty of uke "co-operation".

Can also be done in quite a hard manner - "resistance is futile".

Or in a softer manner where response is soft, but resistance provokes "hidden structures". Can seem similar to "resistance is futile" but actually depends on movements of uke.

YMMV
