Kendo June 17th

Harding sensei mentioned quite a few points:

1. "cki" needs to push by the waist, not the arms, the shinai is a weapon, after "cki" you can do additional attacks, and don't focus on the retreat part

2. "kitikaish" still needs to have bigger motion after wearing bogu, thus kitikaish needs to focus a lot more on stomach

3. no matter how slow or fast you do, must keep the foot and hands together in motion, and not doing one and not the other, the timing of the two are important to raise attack speed in the future.

probably gona be encouraged to take 1 kyu test this november
