In Seidokan, teachers are trained to be very clear about what they want a student to be learning. In ASU, there seems to be less of this. So, I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what it is that Chuck thinks I need to learn. On Tuesdays class, it seemed like it was the idea of keeping the whole body moving. The two-sword katas are great for teaching this, as they force you to move your hands in opposition to one another and to communicate that to your heaps and feet. I want to learn to visualize my techniques as though I am holding two swords.
