Today's Kendo Practice Room Journal!

Today was the 2nd joint training of swordsmanship!
Once again, one from each class gathered at the rehearsal hall to sweat it out!

Many of the children in the children's class were participating for the first time, and at first they introduced themselves.
The content of the practice was to check the basic stance in more detail than usual while looking in the mirror,
There was also a mirror for the sword dance, so I checked the swing and movements in detail.

At the end of the day, the students worked hard and concentrated on their postures and kata for a short time in time to the music.
It was very impressive to see the younger children watching their older brothers and sisters practice while sitting on their knees.

The adult class started with a bare hand swing and then practiced the posture one by one in more detail.
I think the training was quite in-depth, not only in the kata, but also in what the posture was for and how to immediately connect it to the next move.
It was a practice that reminded me of the importance of the basics.

In the afternoon of the same day, the 46th Tsurugido Open Workshop was also held.
We practiced kirite and kaiten (rotation) and finally did standing around.
It really encourages us to see all the participants enjoying themselves in the killings. I would like to continue to devote myself to making the participants as satisfied as possible!

The next exhibition will be held on Sunday, May 26 at Tsukishima Art Harumi Gallery.
Thank you for your hard work in training today.
