politeness to questions

The rudeness to this question is precisely the narrow mindset to being a clique I speak of when someone asks a question of this little group.

If the subject is off center, refer the questioner to the proper forum and answer the question.

The short answer would be that there are videos, and books that give the proper form and visualization to arcs of proper bokken strikes. Practice, a teacher who has practiced for many years will show you the basic movements and tell you the only real teacher to developing speed is practice.

In fact I will go into the long answer on weapons forum as related to me by many of my teachers. Go there.

If you are reading replies, put your icon on the arrows at the bottom, hold down mouse, and bring up the forum that applies. Weapons in this case.
