When the sword practice was over and everyone was taking pictures,one person said please show demonstration.
I showed some 抜刀術.
It’s been a while since I did “後ろ斬り”, but I can do it well.
I am good feeling today.
I am good feeling after I had massage the day before yesterday.
We did a tea time at the wood area without the tatami in the dojo because we can not use the meeting room.
When we use the meeting room, it becomes a formal atmosphere, when in the dojo it became a casual atmosphere.
It is also good, so everyone can talk friendly.
This time, I was thinking to say “pretend”, because I could not say it last time.
And when practicing the sword, I holded the “lower stance” just like last time.
I said “pretend” with in my mind many times.
And I said, “I pretend recieve a sword”
I said!
I was very glading in my mind.
But I did next explanation with しれっとした顔で.
I wonder if there are しれっとした顔 in English.
I still have not been able to do enough to explain what I would like to explain.
So I am trying to make a new explanation every time.
This time, I was thinking to explain “I pretend to recieve”.
And, when practice the sword.
I took the “lower stance”.
I said “make the opponent attack first and … (私は受ける構えを取ってから攻撃します)”
“pretend” don’t come out of my mouth.
I was thinking it’s okay if I say to “pretend” today.
shock.
There was a person who speaks a little Japanese this time.
So, I asked him why can you speak Japanese?
He said he watched the animation and learned Japanese.
I thought it is a good thing to know the culture of Japan with animation as an entrance.
