Yet Another Haphazard Peanut Gallery

This is my second attempt at blogging. For the most part, the entires on this new blog will be about the daily grind that comes with living and training in Tokyo. There might not be many posts on aikido, but certainly expect to find a lot of ranting about Japanese society and shallow observations of budo, especially swordsmanship.

Cutting in Baba

Here's a video of me cutting gyaku gesa at Sakaguchi's practice last Tuesday. I usually cut a lot cleaner than this, so honestly, I'm rather ashamed of this video. It is the only video footage I have of me cutting though, so up it goes! I'm cutting with my hips, but I've still got a long way to go to get the tension out of my body. I was told to do it kata-style, so there was a certain amount of tension as a result.

    I have two of you cutting with a wak:
    One, Two

    Thought I had more but must have deleted them because of quality / space.

    You should have deleted them ALL because of quality! Jesus... wish I hadn't seen that.
