Murata-san came to Fuchou again tonight so I got my
second run at fighting someone who does nito. I couldn’t land a single hit on
him! He’s so fast and his defenses are impenetrable. Still, it was a lot of
fun, and he gave me some pointers, such as worry about the long shinai and
don’t keep a dead center kamae. My waza aren’t advanced enough that I can pull
off a defense and counter attack of such complicated moves. Maybe I’ll see if I
can study a bit of nito after I get ni-dan. Fortunately, Murata-san’s dojo
practices 3 times a week, and all in the evening, so it’s feasible that I could
go! How much kendo can I physically do in a week? I guess we’ll find out.
