It's a good day to die

No, I do not intend to commit suicide, that's just my favourite quote from warcraft 2. I'm headed off for my second session of Kendo with the Kyudai kendo club in about an hour, the first having been on saturday. They train here 6 days a week, but there's no need to attend them all, thankfully. The saturday session was short, at 1 1/2 hours, but it was a killer. Actually, it isn't as hard as you might think, just that I'm somewhat out of shape. A few kiri-kaeshi, followed by men-uchi, nidan waza, for around the first 20 min. A short kakari-geiko later, we formed up in rows for a ji-geiko session with the 6 senseis present. Each ji-geiko lasts around 5 min, and with the numbers present, I managed to get to practice with 2 senseis. Nearly died. But I get the feeling that saturday sessions, being on a weekend, are a little different from practice on other days, as I didn't see that many senseis on the friday that I first went to watch their trainings. In fact, only one sensei, Shiroki sensei was there that day. We shall see whether this observation holds water soon enough.
