Judging by what I've seen and learned, their teaching methods are completely flawed. If it were any more flawed the whole thing would border on being criminal. It's way too flawed to be frustrated about it. It's beyond that. It's so flawed that the only thing you can do is shake your head and laugh about it. And that's what I'm doing while getting by butt kicked. Aikido smakido es muy muy stupido. No wonder it takes a lifetime to learn it.
Two fellow kendokas practicing basic fundamentals. I don;t know what this is called, but I'm guessing it's to practice timing, rhythm, technique, amongst all the fundamentals, like ayumiashi, aka footwork.My Kendo on the other-hand is being honed by excellent methods by 1st class instructors. I'm far from where I need to be, but like all things good, this will take time. I got a new hakama that fits me slightly better and is nearly wrinkle free and much easier to fold and care for. It's the latest craze in Japan this fabric. Before I know it I'll be in the stressful position of shopping for the armor, aka bogu. Stressful because it's $500 for a set (average). Stressful because it needs to fit the body very well. And all that's going to be tough and painful since everything will need to be ordered online.
