A Beginner's Point of View 676-677

Day 676:

No class today as I am ill.

Day 677:

In Iaido class today we had no sensei. He was out sick, so our shodan ran the class. There was no group lesson. She spent her time training our lowest ranking Iaidoka. So, I completed three sets of kata and then a couple of stretching exercises to fill the time.

In Kendo class, our other sensei taught the class. Surprisingly, one of our former students showed up today to visit. Our class consisted of the lesson about taking center and then striking when you are at the proper maai. Lots of stepping in and then striking. Taking center by staying on tsuki, ai-men, step-in-men, seme-men, push aside the shinai to strike men, kote-kiri-kaeshi with tsuki, doh kiri-kaeshi-with-tsuki, and then ji-geiko.
