Iaido was good last night, Keith the usual sensei -- and the only person I know that can switch betweem fluent japanese and a broad Yorkshire accent -- was up some scafolding reroofing his house which meant an evening of free practice and a rare chance to work through each of the 12 Seitei Kata one after another, before moving onto a couple of the old form Koryu.

As Keith reminds us so often that we're tempted to get it on a t-shirt for him each kata should be one fluid motion with changes of pace and I'm definitely starting to see the transitions smooth between it all.

Got into an interesting conversation with one of the guys there through when I found out he does Kyudo (Japanese archery) and is heading over to the International Seminar in Hungary in a couple of weeks.
