And continues to begin...

A few more people for this practice... total of 6. I imagine people are still trickling back from Winter break. Today we did a practice of 10's After our usual startup and non-bogu basics,
We did: 10x kirki-kaeshi, 10x rotations of 5 men each, 10x rotations of kote-men.

Today we concentrated, not only on proper form but the idea that we are always looking for ways to attack. Doing this helps to keep the breaks from the kendo we do...improves zanshin.

We then did a bit of jigeiko to finish. But I think that for the most part we were a bit off with that.
From this practice I think that we need to work on several things:

1. Left hand use.. I still see too much right handed pushing on the cut at the end of the action, and too much right handed backswings.
2. Timing ... too many times the right foot lands well before the cut.
3. Continuity
