Great video, interesting information.
Thank you for this, Steven-Sensei. It’s good to be aware of what part of the sword I’m actually supposed to hit with. Charlie-san also reminds me of the value of aiming for an actual target–even if it’s just one I’m visualizing.
I agree with Andrew, being able to properly visualize the partner is very important when it comes to proper striking, sometimes we lack of an adequeate idea of where should we aim to strike so thanks Steven sensei and thanks Charlie san for risking his life in the process of helping us learn
In the future we will be discussing this more.
