Hallo Mukdo Centered, as I am new to these forum maybe is not good idea to giving advices. But, from the New year 2005. next 204 days I was doing 1000 suburi per day. So I would like to share some of my experience with you.
It would be too long to explain in details and reasons, so just few thing.
Do not do suburi with suborito untill you really develop good technique and muscles. Very important is ashi sabaki, and tai sabaki. Go very slowly, with 100x than 10 - 20 sec rest/stretch your arms and continue. It is great advice from Mr. Neil, but alsow from Masahiro in the way that you should keep on. These practice is not much about technique as is about kendo commitment.What you can technically achieve is difficul to predict. It depends do you have a sensei who can correct you or not. For sure you will improve your technique but only after you start and finnish your suburi with focus on suburi and not on what you will do after practice. I guess that after two months you will develop such level of concentration wich will allow you to be focused all 45-60 minutes to suburi.

The fact that you practice even 100 suburi every day is great commitment in todays society. I finnish my practice after 204 days because of so called "tennis elbow" injury. I did too much haya suburi with suburi bokuto. Now aftter 4 months I still have pain in my elbow but thanks to iaido practice and pigs fat-wich is great to treat such injuries, I am better. I tried lot of expencive gels and greases but nothing has worked like pigs fat-ehehehe.
