A Beginner's Point of View 604-605

Day 604:

Today Iaido class went quickly. I made sure to push the blade forward and rotate slowly to make ready to strike.

In kendo class, our normal sensei was on vacation. So, I had to lead stretches and suburi. After men-tsuke, we practiced various men strikes. Men-ouchi, ai-ouchi-men, kote-ouchi, kote-men-ouchi, and then ji-geiko.

Day 605:

I showed up late from traffic but still had enough time for three full sets of Iaido kata. Simply pivoting my wrist seems to make the cut in the third kata even easier. I should practice that.

In Kendo, today was the same as previous day. Various men-ouchi-waza were done today.
