I don't know much about chinese sword work, but his Japanese sword work is utter crap, according to this video clip anyways.
First off, you always hold the Tsuba, always, Second the sword is loose inside the scabbard to faciliate the Batto technique ( simultaneous draw and cut) of the sword, no sword was ever "tight" in the scabbard.
The "chinna" moves he did to protect the sword were impractical and that is being kind.
The rest was just painful, plain painful.
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
