With vacations, alternate training, etc going on, today there was just Kai and myself. We reviewed the cuts and blocks from last week, then practiced with the Cutting Pattern 1 a bit. I then covered Kneeling Iai 1 through 4. His previous martial arts training is serving him well and he is picking up the new skills quickly. Once I feel he is comfortable with the cuts, blocks and first four kneeling iai, we’ll start on standing iai one through three.
