IN SUMMARY "If you use your elbows, the action becomes large (and obvious). If you use your wrists, smaller action. If you use your armpits, like this [big cut]. So the important parts are the wrists, the elbows and the armpits." "If you use your elbows, especially if you pull your right elbow, see, large cuts. So you keep your elbows still, and just use your wrists. If you focus on that, the action will not be so large." "The initial actions come from these [right ring and little] fingers. Like this [flips shinai with two fingers]. Because you use, well, three fingers, to start the cut, your wrist comes back and the shinai tip comes up. Then the left wrist comes forward, and the three fingers open up. So you close them, and the shinai tip comes down." "At the same time, you close the right hand, you do this together to get the [snap]." "Try to hold the shinai as long as possible [NB so middle and index fingers slightly stretching out]."

この考え方はすげー納得したし理解した！
でも吉長さんはまだ肘曲げてる気がする
Can someone translate it into English, please? It looks like he is talking about correct muscle use.
