Andoru's Kendo Blog: May 2005
http://kikentai01.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 21, 2005. I was relieved when the Han Rim Won competition ended last Saturday. In truth, I didn't prepare for it. All these times since the nationals, my focus has been on overall improvement. Vivian has already written a post about the competition so I won't add much except a brief commentary about my matches. Well no more such compassion next time. It's a good point though. He asked us to think of nihonme and how kote-nuki-kote is performed. And ended up compromising maai and opening up m...

Andoru's Kendo Blog: Everyone deserves a fresh start
http://kikentai01.blogspot.com/2006/02/everyone-deserves-fresh-start.html
Tuesday, February 14, 2006. Everyone deserves a fresh start. I think it's safe to say, on reflection, that 2005 wasn't as good a kendo year as it could have been for me. Plagued by various injuries, PhD deadlines, girlfriend issues (and there were many), I'd lost some degree of motivation along the way. As John Locke said in Lost. Everyone deserves a fresh start.". Posted by Andoru at 5:07 pm. Good to see you back. See you at kendo.erm. sometime ; . Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Andoru's Kendo Blog: December 2004
http://kikentai01.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 27, 2004. An (unexpected) source of inspiration. Well it's been 5 days without kendo.and none for the next 7 days at least. I'm iching to train. But for now, mitori-keiko. And suburis are all I can do. I've been watching the match between Chikamoto and Ando over and over again in the hope that I might be able to pick-up better footwork technique, or even a hint or two, from the former. I was side-tracked by a thread in Kendo World. Consists of primary school kids. Remember his name: 川田祥平.

Andoru's Kendo Blog: March 2005
http://kikentai01.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 31, 2005. As to the benefits of a fat tsuka, this is what he wrote to me:. As for that fat-grip, although I find no research available with regards to kendo, if we look at other activities such as golf, tennis, and industrial arts in which handled-implements are employed, evidence clearly reveals that larger grips require less gripping force, which is related to wrist and elbow joint function and pathological processes (of overuse.)". Good for kenshi with elbow issues apparently. We didn'...

http://kikentai01.blogspot.com/2006/07/migi-doh.html
Sunday, July 09, 2006. I went full out in yesterday's training. I think it's safe to say that I've fully recovered. Glad to be doing more migi-doh training but meh it's hard to train my mind to do it in jigeiko. Will have to try though. Posted by Andoru at 1:31 am. Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Sunday, July 31, 2005. Yano sensei came to training yesterday, and I had the privilege of doing jigeiko with him for the first time ever! Then in August last year, sensei had to move to Melbourne. We didn't get to do jigeiko with him at that time because of his shoulder injury too. So I missed the boat completely until yesterday. I was the last to do jigeiko with him too! 1 more month until thesis submission date. It's coming along okay - just can't wait for submission! Hello to all the readers of my hum...

Saturday, September 03, 2005. Here's what Gendzwill sensei wrote in this thread. Here's the key points I usually make when teaching this:. Posted by Andoru at 6:53 pm. Jots down your advice*. It's funny though, coz Takeshi said both of them should be BAM BAM. As they often say."your mileage may vary". :). Tell us about your experience in Uni Games. Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
