Salute,

er almost a year now at Kendo. I'm not the youngest (48) and thus not the fitest when compared to all the 16 yr olds we have. I believe I have been getting the hang of this but two events have cast doubt on myself. A few weeks ago during Ji-geiko my Partner (6dan) just stoped and went into sonkyo and ended our session...about 30 sec.

last week my first Ji-geiko was with our top Sensai (6 dan) and after a few attacks from me, I turned around only to see his back while waiting in Sonkyo...session about 2 min.

I now avoid these two as I seem not to be worth thier time, or at least that would be the impression I have. Question is...am I reading this all wrong. Turning your back on someone is not polite to say the least.
