Kikugido Practice Room Journal

May 2, 2018

Today we practiced Kumite 8.
The key points were "turning" and "sword return.

The "turnaround" is very difficult and doesn't work very well.

There are 1-8 kumite in swordsmanship.
I have seen techniques that didn't work for a long time, but after a while, when we did the same kumite again, I started to see some things that I didn't understand before,
I am sure that we will be able to apply 1-8 on top of each other and gradually increase what we know through repetition.

Thank you again for your time today.
