#74 Relaxing

Relax relax relax.

I haven't been able to train much and by the looks of it due to work, I won't get to train much more in the future either.

I went to training today after work and was talking to one of our members who was  severely fatigued on their right shoulder and arm, and really, I thought it was they were too tense and used their right too much.  My advice was to relax, relax relax.  Balance out the use of the arms, and put more into the left as leading with the right means that you will naturally apply more power with the right when you make cuts.

Then we spoke to one of our sempai's annd he gave virtually the same advice as I did, so it's good to know that my own thoughts were not in the wrong chain of thought.

So, relax, reset yourself after each cut, return to kamae, and relax.  Being tense stops you from moving smoothly and fluidly.

So, once again, relax.
