>but yeah, big and slow and rhythmical, to prevent tripping over yourself.
And prevent knocking your friend's glasses off :P
Until I go back at the end of Feb I've been doing
everything
superslow now. It's good actually, concentrate on where my right hand is going, the tensen, tenouchi, getting feet and sword to stop moving at the same time, not breaking things, etc.
The problem I have with kirikaeshi is you get told to do it nice and slowly with big waza and even (as one sempai said to me after he saw I was having trouble with it) stop after every strike and make sure I'm ready for the next, but to do two passes in one breath. ???? I don't have the greatest lung capacity and
that's not easy
! I mean, having to do even one pass in one breath, with kiaing, encourages you to go quickly!
But I suppose that kind of brings us back to the reason this thread was written "First you must defeat yourself..." huh?
