Bokuto

What skills or lessons have you learned recently?

Hi, me I’ve been practicing suburi with a lovely white wood bokuto. Mai, ato, migi, hidari=forward, backward, right, left, naname, straight joguburi, and every which way!!! I step about correctly and let ‘er swing lol! I can feel the danger when I’m open and immediately strike to counter and dispatch! It’s really fun!

The shinai is a little too long for my dojo, and it often snows ceiling popcorn all over the place!!! Lol!!!

Thanks!

Nico

    Aikido, practicing Suburi or any Japanese culture activity is good for the soul. But you can do it just the same yourself, without emulating other cultures or foreign names. Just SWING.. BTW , that reminds me a good old American swing slow dance, occasional twirls, with your loved one. Just saying..
