-Shihanbo tsuke maesaide
This day, we finished our first run through maesaide as done with the shihanbo. While originally taught with a short sword (kogusoku), the fundamentals of movement and spacing are still applicable. The 4 basic movements (irimi, gyakuirimi, hikimi, and sonoba) as well as the idea of maai will continue to appear as we explore further.
