21 Nov 2014 - session 5

- uniform (dou-gi) check
[warming up]
- footwork forward/backward with shinai - individual practice
- turn footwork with shinai - individual/group practice
- super-slow big men cut - individual practice
- collected cut-land on the spot - pair practice
- collected cut-land, 1 step forward - pair
- men cut going through with 3-step turn & signing-off sequence - pair practice rotation

English I failed to use:
row = side to side e.g. "form two rows facing to each other"
file = one behind another

---
Maybe beginners should join the lining up at the beginning of each keiko too, as performing beginning/end 'rei' is an important part of kendo practice to clearly mark the boundary of a keiko.

Next time:
- son-kyo
- footwork
- turn
- half turn formation (2 ppl from the opposite direction > meet in the centre > half turn > go backwards)
- men cut - arm swing workshop
- men cut in pair, entire sequence up to signing-off
