Had my first ever official Kenjutsu grading today :)
The grading was somewhat fast and really easy and for beginners like me, I only had to do 5-strike kihon, partner kihon, moving kihon and sparring and when I saw what the seniors had to do, I realised that the gradings were actually rather simple, only 2 strikes using the choken, gaurd position, movements, partner kihon, moving kihon and sparring. In my own opinion, I think that the haredest part of the grading was actually sparring. The students from the other school were all so big sized and they deliver such hard hits, I got a headache after getting hit in the head several times.....
The equipment that I ordered had already arrived and Sensei James and Dave said that we would most probably be getting our Gi by next week.... So the things that I would now be focussing on would be my exams for next 2 weeks, the upcoming Kenjutsu competition.... my Aikido training and upcoming grading where I would be going for my brown belt.....
