I dont' know if I got it right, but , anyway.

In the beginning, blisters are unavoidable. Think of them as a part of the process , love them, hate them, learn to live with them and then they'll depart and only come back on occasion for a visit after a bad dojo day.

The two hands are supposed to be in equilibrium. Many of use are right-handed though, so we tend to overuse the right hand which makes the shinai path in the air a little dizzy and the strike a little jerky. Work with both, and when the cut lands you have to squeeze inward the handle, to make the shinai stop right in the moment of contact.

Or else you'll have a sore and angry motodachi, which is a bad thing indeed. Same thing goes for all other waza

Keep on, eventually you'll learn some 'chinese' (mind you, never saw chinese kendoka, only Taiwanese).
