Well, the day course at Whiteinch was yesterday, and it was really good fun. The main practice was on drawing in the energy of your attacker. We started off doing a practice with boken. This was to get the feel of what we were eventually going to be aiming for.
Then, the without the boken, we paired up, with one person attacking. The defender kept the hands as if holding the boken, and the movement was the same as in the boken practice. You couold then draw in your attacker and get them off balance, and leave them open for your attack. In practice, the effort required to get your attacker overbalancing, was a very light touch. If a full punch had been used the effect would have been amazing.
All in all another very tiring but very good course.
