二刀流の練習：第三目

今晩は第三回の二刀流練習をした。二刀流の切り返しがどんどんに慣れるが、片手で太刀の左右面はまだちょっときつい。

あい面の時左手の親指が相手の拳をあったて。痛いだ。多分左手で押しの動作があるすぎだ。手首をもっと使って、切るの感じしなければならないと思う。

今晩は出ばな技に強調した。出ばな面、出ばな小手、と抜き胴を練習した。片手で太刀を動くは難しくて、おそいな。。。^_^;;

Tonight was the third nito practice. I am becoming more used to doing kirikaeshi while doing nito, but sayuumen with one hand on the long sword is still difficult.

When aimen happened tonight, my left thumb hit my opponent's fist. I jammed it a bit. I think it's because I have too much of a pushing motion in my left hand. I should be using my wrist to produce more of a rotational, cutting motion, I think.

We put special emphasis on debana techniques tonight. We practiced debana men, debana kote, and nuki doh. It was difficult and slow to attack with one hand on the long sword... ^_^;;
