Hi, I created a video that breaks down the 10 Keishi-ryu Bokuto Kata. It is narrated in Cantonese but I have included English subtitles. The breakdown of the Kata starts at around 5:00 mark, preceded by some history elements about the Kata.

It is different from other Keishi-ryu Kata demonstration videos because I have added the text from the late 19th century on the side to explain what they were doing.

It's the first time I post here. Please feel free to leave a comment under the video. Thanks!

Some write about their kendo experiences in a journal. Others blog. Some may even vlog. How do you do it?

A few follow up questions for the discussion:

1. How often do you journal?
2. Do you set limits on how much you journal?
3. Any changes you made in your journaling that improved your kendo?
4. Any tips?
