After every training my right arm is always likely overloaded. I'm trying to increase my right arm's stamina day by day. Even though sometimes I feel lost in my way of Nito after those years of Nito Training, because I can't see any further improvement in my skill. But your videos are my motivation & inspiration to keep going forward. Tks again! :)
Thanks for your comment. The road of Nito Kendo is not a short-term journey, Rome wasn't built in a day. I've also spent more than a decade reaching and achieving the current status. Hope you can get some idea and hint to make a shortcut from my lessons learned 😁👍
Thanks for your comment 😊 I believe any budougu shop you can buy or google it by "kiri bokken" . If your Kendo Federation has local kendo supply, you can order it 😉
Hi sensei! Thank you for your contents, I had trouble finding good content for English speakers and relied on Japanese videos that were poorly translated, but I was happy to stumble across your channel! Regarding injuries, I was wondering if you had an opinion about my ankles. Long time ago in my high school days (I'm 38 now) I rolled my left ankle really bad. Today, when I fumikomi with my left foot behind it lands about 13 cm behind what I can with my right foot behind. I've never practiced Jodan/Nito nor did I ever specifically train right foot fumikomi. Do you think the old injury is a factor, or do you know of any exercises I can do to improve my fumikomi distance with my left? To further clarify, I stopped Kendo since my college days and recenrly came back about 3 months ago. Thank you so much!
Thanks for your comment 😊 Although I'm not familiar with ankle injuries, this is my experience based info. When I resumed Kendo, I struggled Fumikomi because of the pain of heels, ankles, and achilles tendons. As a result of investigations from the empirical standpoint of views, (1) stiffness of joints and tendons, (2) bad Fumikomi habit, and (3) wrong suri-ashi & fumikomi movement were the main root causes. Thus, I went back to the basics again to refresh my memory and movement. Then, gradually improved. Here it the outcomes.

Thanks for your physics. Yes, you can follow motor unit recruitment & henneman’s size principle for your choice :-) This is just an example from my experience to share as one of idea.
