I was referring to your thread title (subject). The best place to post a question of bokken was the weapons section but no matter what your post is about choose an appropriate title.

I was unaware that it would be posted on the home page three times. For that i am sorry. I am a new user and did not realise this would happen.
Mistakes happen - usually a good idea to lurk a little before diving into internet forums. Like everything in life - there are lots of unspoken rules.

As for the bokken - are you a member of an Aikido club which uses a bokken in practice? Speed comes from practice of correct technique - usually with the realization that you are dealing with a cutting sword rather than a club. Correct technique, be it bokken or Aikido, is not something that can be easily described on a forum. Your teacher should be able to answer the question far easier.
