What are good martial arts for aging bodies? Why do you omit taiji from the list of internal martial arts? I'm not challenging, just curious. |

Why drop the bokken vertical prior to a downstroke? Excellent answer. Thank you. (that converges with my approach. Most of the time I practice as my mugairyu teacher taught. But in solo practice I try to alternate, to see what the other stroke will teach me). |

Why drop the bokken vertical prior to a downstroke? Similarities and differences between suburi in kendo, aikido, aiki-ken and Mugairyu are a fascinating subject, and well worthy of a beer or three. Aikido seems to have kept the curved blade but pretends to use a kendo straight shinai. That said, this answer matches what I see, and I think I'll accept it. Thanks very much. |

Why drop the bokken vertical prior to a downstroke? I've tried both. <warning; following is subjective> I and my partners agree that we prefer the way that our MuGaiRyu teacher taught us. Dropping to the spine feels slower, breaks the flow/energy, and seems to corrupt the shoulder position. |
