[ensuppono]

One of my Senseis (who practices nito) told me to watch the shoto(short shinai?). He said its will tell you when the attack will come. In attack he said to try to attack the kote holding the larger shinai or go for sayu men.

Nevertheless, I got a lovely long bruise on my arm when he thought I would attack men after pressing forward with the shoto. Unfortunately/fortunately I kept a strong chudan and instead I got a nice dou cut on my arm...
