It is an honour to train with her. <br />I also learned from our guests as Marleen pointed out to me the directness of their attack. They stayed straight and moved forward without deviation and with clear purpose. <br />Another aspect of training which they helped us improve was the speed of striking during practice. I do not remember the correct term, but we were practising men strikes repeatedly whilst facing a training partner across the floor. It felt invigorating to match their training speed.<br />:-)MrWoodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01182215440888885791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30879256.post-74569913087315559792009-04-07T14:22:00.000+12:002009-04-07T14:22:00.000+12:00Thank you for the sharing, Debbie.Step by step, I ...Thank you for the sharing, Debbie.<BR/><BR/>Step by step, I know that you will build your confidence in Kendo and inspire other young Kendoka.<BR/><BR/><BR/>One recent Kendo Nihon magazine just report a respectable Kendoka who started his Kendo at age 84 and has achieved 4th Dan at age 92.
