Junji's last practice. Everyone had a great time, I've got to make more of an effort to come on Saturdays.
There is one techniques I must fundamentally change from now on. Junji told me to cut from further out, and not 'step in'. Simply gain the centre, and launch from issokuitonomaai. This means my cut needs to be bigger, fumikomi with more of a 'bang', all the while keeping my back straight. I need to feel literally the tip of my shinai on top of the men buton.
During jigeiko, never lean back at all. Even if you get hit, get hit with mementum going forward. Never get hit with head leaning back. Sacrifice speed if that's what it takes, launch your men with perfectly straight back and head level. After a while you will be able to get the same speed with correct posture.
In jigeiko, show them you can cut them from further out, without needing to step in. Win the centre, bang. Win the centre, bang.
