special consideration for non-traditional (older) children

We started with a bare swing and went through stances 1-4.

After that, we practiced "Tenshi-Shogan" and "Tenshi-Makumogan" intensively, and then we practiced Stance 3 and 4 with an opponent. Especially when an opponent is present, it is not only about oneself but also about matching with the opponent, so we practiced with this in mind.

adult limit

The adult frame was done from stance 1 to 5, and "uke" was picked up and practiced.

There are many things to keep in mind even in uke, such as whether the arm is firmly raised and whether the blade is in contact with the opponent. After that, we went from uke to kirite.

Thanks again for your hard work today.
