Just before Christmas my local Koryu Jodo group had our usual last session before the break. Everyone had to perform a little "party piece" and, last minute, I was asked to exhibit some Iaido with someone else's sword. It wasn't my intention to be great and technically perfect but the troops told me they were entertained with something different and that was good enough for me.
Well, a copy of the video footage from that demo didn't reach my grubby little mitts until yesterday but, after watching it this morning, I was absolutely horrified! There are several major flaws in my display which I am sure cost me dearly last weekend. From memory, they are the same ones which I viewed on our video camera after the semi-finals and which led me to a major rethink/redesign.
Life isn't better viewed through the benefit of a rearview mirror. It's annoying!
