just curious. it's been a while since i picked up my shinai...

 

Shinai just reminds me of my karate teacher in NYC smacking my calfs and barking "lower!" I used to hate it when he'd pick that thing up!

 

I use a broom.

 

I didn't know you were into kendo Mingster. I was at the Venice obon a few weeks ago and they had a kendo demonstration. One of the girls was the CA state champ and she kicked ass. She was ligthning quick, and took down all of the big boys.

 

Lesson 1: Kendo Rocks
Lesson 2: Kendo Hurts

 

No practice Kendo, principal study only. Great shoulder movement, very untelegraphical, or nontelegraphical...whichever you prefer.
