Fri/Sun 27/29 - hard for them..
We've lost a bunch of experience members this last week.. Hopefully this is temporary both
due to school and, in one case due to travel. I can still make it hard for our beginners...three of whom will have men next week which will make it a bit easier to run a harder practice.
Pushing on basics as conditioning as well as basics for basics. Today especially, I had two motodachis... we ran them back and forth so almost everything was like uchikomi-geiko.
My own kendo is still showing inconsistency. Friday, it was really crappy, I could not find
a way to strike effectively. Today, a completely different story. I felt much more in control
of the match.
I think some of this was watching the final match of the ZNKR tournament. Seeing how much
more active those kenshi are than I am. So I cranked up a bit of that and found some much
simpler ways to get in and hit.
