Withdrawal

After training for 3 days in a row (Camp on sat+sunday then monday's training) then nothing, I'm kinda going through some kendo withdrawal... arrrggghhh. Couldn't make it to wednesday's training nor could I wake up early enough for friday mornings... Have to do it one day. Anyway, been watching the vid of my shiai match from the camp. Couple of things I saw that I want to improve on.

1) When going for a cut, I'm still extended my arms too much... I think. This is evident by my head action which kinda tilts back as I go forward. Must maintain my posture throughout the cut... again, comes down to pushing from the 'hara'... Seems like I was getting better at it on monday, but didn't make a concious effort to notice how it was.

2) My left foot is not perfectly facing forward. Seems to be about a 5 degree angle on it. Must fix this. Might be related to why I can't push off effectively.

Well can't wait to train again. I don't want to lose the fitness I gained from the camp. Apparently fitness can be lost within a few days! Arrgghh... Wish there was somewhere I can do kendo homework properly. Suburi from seiza just doesn't cut it (pun intended).
