Feb 26, 2009 CONDITIONING DAAAAY

Who - Henry, Kyle, and Vincent

Suburi - you can practice suburi in a way where you start with your sword way back. When you swing, swing it from your core by pulling with your abs. Try to make the hasuji sharpest above your head but see if you can make it carry through all the way til the end of the cut. Most important thing is to use your center!
