I know there are some who will say this is kendo heresy! But not me. Great insights and logical instruction, Sensei. Just get ready for some controversial comments! Grabbing my popcorn to watch. 🍿👀
Thanks for your comment, @westbladep! 😄 That's fine. I am not denying taiatari. Many of my students struggle to keep their hands up when they get close to their opponent after striking men. If they want to do taiatari, they should. They should not drop their hands halfway through if they want to complete their men's strike. it is about what action do you want? First, they need to learn how to complete their strike. Then learn taiatari. That is what I think at the moment. :)
That’s a really good thing to teach your students 🤣
I still sometimes do Taitare quite high but I’m trying to work on that now :)
Keep up the good work! Do some image training of taiatari before you actually practice it. That might help you.
