Hey Ted
Yes, I try to line up the opponents so that it does not seem so overwhelming when they otherwise "swarm" around you. Using this technique along with good metsuke makes me a lot less jumpy. But I find that my distance or- issoku-itto-no-maai is constantly pushed into chikai-maai in this type of keiko which I hate fighting from. But distance is so important when fighting more than one opponent. I often wonder why taller people prefer to fight from chikai-maai rather than toi-maai for example.

Any thoughts?
