This.Seems to me that the best way to learn to grip a sword is to simply train with a sword.
Western fencing is a bit in between. There are definitely certain ways to hold the weapon, but it's all about how to best manipulate the weapon in your specific circumstance. It very much revolves around efficiency and effectiveness, so much so that Olympic style fencing redesigned their grip to optimize it for their sport.I know the Japanese sword arts tend to put a heavy focus on the minutia of a proper grip, but my experience with Chinese sword work has never done so. We just pick up the sword and start working with it. You figure out the grip as you work. I can’t speak to any other type of sword training. But I guess what I’m saying is, I don’t know that such devices would be terribly necessary or worthwhile in sword training.
Yes, gripping a Japanese sword is very specific as to which fingers are used to grip, guide and squeeze (te no uchi). Squeezing too quickly locks the wrists. We have to bear in mind that the Tsuka (hilt) is of an elliptical shape and cannot be gripped but guided so as not to lose the cutting edge. The Tsuka is tucked under the abductor muscle.I'm talking about something like this.
