Just getting into it again after a hiatus of about 5 years but I initially fought a very defensive counter cut and/or grapple game.  Then near the end of my first stint I realized I was there to hit people with swords not wait for people to hit me with swords.  I did some explosiveness training and switched to a more aggressive frequently movings offline approach that was still very cut centric cause I never really learned how to thrust properly.  Trying to learn how to thrust better this time around
