special consideration for non-traditional (older) children
This time, we each reviewed Kumite 1-7 at our own pace and learned new ones!

Adults also did Kumite 1-6.
In Kumite 4, there were two types of kumite: the normal omote (front) and ura (back), which is the opposite of the left-right swing.
Kumite is not that difficult if it is just about swinging, but there are many points to pay attention to, such as matching breathing with the opponent and being aware of kata, so even if you do it slowly, you will sweat a lot.
However, I think it is important and meaningful to be able to share kumite with the whole Kendo community, so I would like to be proactive in this area!
Thank you for your hard work in today's practice!
