I do this one a lot whenever I have spare time. Waiting for traffic lights etc. It makes me feel a bit like a grumpy lady. Grumpy Ladies don't tend to follow up with stabs to the heart though so I am not sure what passers by think.
5 examples of fumikoni. I would like to claim I did a variety of errors to show you. In truth I am just not that good yet.
Double slap, okay sound but slow like granny coming to say hi
Overbalanced, sounded good, back foot was quick but too close
Happy enough but back foot is slow
Not as good and back foot is slow
pee yeew ugly no slap at all
All things being equal this was just a quick thing
without a mokuju so I am not too upset with my self except that in every
single one I used naginata footwork to go backwards. Jukendo starts
with the back foot and digs it in hard to get that speed and lateral
motion without the bouncy.
Going backwards fast is really hard to learn. It is, I think, essential to good zanshin in jukendo as you have to remember the 40% power for strike / 60% for blade removal rule. That back foot moving first gives you the 60%, it is not arm strength, it is body strength.
