This is one of the rare times that i can spot a difference in the way a different iai school does things.
Not saying that i belong to a school of iai; i have only done very little (waiting for my knees to toughen up  ) MJER and some MSR (Is that right Mike? The Otani stuff?). Kendo gives me most of my sword practice.
I have a question, and pardon the ignorance!
In the first kata after nuketsuki the kensen continues in an almost unbroken movement to the right. Why is "the line" not controlled?
Peace and love budoka

Hmmm, if you're asking me, I can't tell you at the moment. I'll ask my teacher when I see him next. I'm sure in some respect it is. BTW: my sensei Phil Ortiz is the heir to Otani Sensei. Thank you for remembering his name.
