I have 3 Koras, with handles of different size: from slightly tight to very roomy.
No fine movements are possible. No movement with the exception of brute hacking is possible, as a matter of fact. And on top of that, when the hacking arm is ~ halfway down and the wrist is abducted, the upper disk bites into the fleshy part of the hand. It hurts.
The bottom line: if you are arming yourself for a battle, do your best to avoid being issued a Kora.
Get an AK-47 with a bayonet.
