In fact I am not hinting that this thinking is absurd nor being ironical about it; and I respect both Master Kimura and the courses from the BE. I have thought a lot about "stopping just before it breaks" and it makes sense with some species of pines and junipers, which have flexible wood that sends some noises before actually snapping off.That's why he makes the big bucks. With masterful insights such as this.

Yes, you can feel internal fibres starting to give, which is the first tell tale sign the branch is reaching breaking point. Wait a few hours to weeks and you can continue bending as the firbers have "set" somewhat.I guess with some decades of experience one can feel it when it is going to be too much and stop just short of disaster.
Didn't he also save the world from aliens?The only thing Michael Jordan ever did was throw the ball through the hoop. Easy.
Two weeks ago we started this bend. This was as far as we could go. When we tried last week, we reduced the amount of copper by half..!
As a newbie here... how do you feel that? When tightening the copper wire, do you hold the bend and do you actually feel that the branch is at the breaking point?Yes, you can feel internal fibres starting to give, which is the first tell tale sign the branch is reaching breaking point.
Yeah, not a joke.
Master Kimura actually says that when styling a JWP in this Bonsai Empire video.
It's a matter of having faith in our idols!If he had said "I bend until the branch breaks, and then I go back in time and stop earlier" I would have believed him
Exactly so.I suspect he's probably broken a looooooot of branches to get to the point where he's confident in knowing how far to bend them. heh
By breaking a lot of branches.As a newbie here... how do you feel that? When tightening the copper wire, do you hold the bend and do you actually feel that the branch is at the breaking point?
When making a bend, I try indeed to have the bending part in my hand, which obviously is easier when with more than one person.As a newbie here... how do you feel that? When tightening the copper wire, do you hold the bend and do you actually feel that the branch is at the breaking point?

Note: The copper wire is used to hold the branch in place. But it is not what (I) use to bend. The bending is done directly on the branch, and a person tightens the wire as you bend.
