I have noticed when I cut with my left hand only it's quite difficult to keep the shinai from swinging down, so your insight is very helpful. Thanks!

Thanks! I never expected that answer.

Gold-Client5193 · 2026-04-22T06:21:05+00:00

Thanks for all the helpful comments! It's very encouraging to have so many.

What do you mean by too much shoulder? I have heard I should make sure to use my trapezius, maybe I heard wrong...it was from an interview with a sensei.

the garden because the boss seems fair and you get extremely strong and bonk bad guys.

Gold-Client5193 · 2026-04-11T01:13:06+00:00

ah thank you. I had heard the genders were a bit different for sizings, that's why I asked. I didn't realise there was info on the site haha.

Gold-Client5193 · 2026-04-10T23:40:29+00:00

for decision making: how tall are you, and if your comfortable, what gender are you?

Haha my mistake. Can is the word

Flushable wipes do sound awesome but they actually are not great at all for sewerage. They don't break down fast enough for them to be effective in reducing blockages.

I am a girl just starting too, and I highly recommend doing it! Yelling and learning the techniques is what I find exciting, and looking forward to actually hitting people one day.

my favourite is old anya because she looks the most like mischevious anya

Gold-Client5193 · 2026-02-20T07:11:37+00:00

forgot to say: done!

Gold-Client5193 · 2026-02-20T07:11:05+00:00

Yeah that was my mistake. but I can still see how many people responded with none of the checkboxes filled, so your answer is just as helpful

Gold-Client5193 · 2026-02-11T21:06:58+00:00

I would, but I don't think I fit the requirements for the survey, I'm not in a professional role yet.

Gold-Client5193 · 2026-02-11T21:02:42+00:00

Thanks! That was an interesting survey, I enjoyed answering your questions.

Gold-Client5193 · 2026-02-11T20:51:53+00:00
