The sword play was really quite interesting, the sticking in particular was nice to watch as it lead to opportunities for cutting, the idea of the sword as an extention of the hand was quite evident. Taking notes again 8-)

interesting how many times he would restart and repeat a move for everyone. also interesting to see how much less smooth some of the students in the front row were looking and the corrections they were getting.
