Elgood mentions ritual beheading of a buffalo at weddings: groom’s responsibility. His friends did their best to fail him, to the point of inserting iron rods under the buffalo’s skin: a local version of comradely humor.

Also, there was a particularly strong historical figure who perfected the technique by performing an upward stroke: that was his claim to eternal fame.

Young noblemen trained on a wet clay block, till they had the power to behead an animal.
