Bad Sain, bad...

Well, my surgeon says I shouldn't practice kendo yet, but my physical therapist had said it's probably ok, so my idea was to at least put on bogu to be motodachi (元立ち), to receive hits and help guide practice. To be honest, it feels kind of weird to do a full swing, so I'm hesitant to jump back into practice. But I was hoping to start practice swinging slowly, until my surgeon shot me down. :-/

So last night I did it for the first time. And of course when jigeiko (地稽古) rolls around I don't stop. :-p I didn't really go hard or attacked quickly, and I stayed away from striking men much. In other words I held back a lot. But the arm felt good so I'm happy. ^_^
