A Beginner's Point of View 768-769

Day 768:

In Iaido class, we had a structured class all about breathing properly. Finally, I get some targeted lessons. We went thorugh katas 1-5 all about breathing. I seemed to get light-headed when breathing as deeply as instructed. I think I should maybe breath more shallow.

In Kendo class, Sensei asked me to teach the class for bokutou kihon waza. We need to get people ready to test this year. Our tournament and testing will happen this summer. Sensei reminded me of which ones were katas 1-6. I taught the class the basics and we did it together, both ways for the whole class. It was kihon, kote-men, harai-men, men-tsubazeriai-hiki-doh, men-nuki-doh, and kote-surigae-men.

Today’s practice was not hard, and that’s good for my leg. I hope I’m not hurting it again.

Day 769:

In Iaido class, we did the same as last class. I need more practice I suppose.

We had another day to prepare for mudansha exams. Practice katas 1-6. He was training our ikkyu for the shodan exam for the Kendo kata. After that, we had ji-geiko and kakari-geiko.
