C. Closing Summary –
The main theme for the training is te-no-uchi (手 の內)
- The overall use of the hands when striking or responding, including
* the way of gripping the shinai,
* the tightening/loosening of the grip and
* the adjusting of the balance between the two hands.
Te-no-uchi is very important "everywhere" in Kendo because we are holding shinai all the time. So please be aware of the three points metioned above.
In addition to te-no-uchi, when we are striking, the shinai should be speeding up downward instead in a constant speed fashion. This will also help you understand the te-no-uchi.
Reflection afterward: from Tian Lee:
I can see people who attended Thursday (6th March) training can do the advanced seme strikes batter than those who didn't.
