When a sword is swung, it is the most important that the biggest power is applied to the kissaki. But, the power sometimes goes into the shoulder when a beginner tries to put the power in the kissaki. A sword isn't swung fast when the power goes into the shoulder. Remove the power of the shoulder and the arm, and swing a sword by the point which throws a fishing rod. Swing a sword by a feeling that a kissaki is thrown toward the target. Then, stretch both arms enough, and try to draw a big circle. At this time, the orbit of the sword must always pass through the center of the body. Tighten a little finger and a third finger strongly when swinging down a sword.
After you finish swinging a sword, make the hilt head of the sword come in front of the navel. Space between the hilt head and the navel is about one fist. And turn a kissaki a little below from the level. Then, bend an elbow a little, and remove the power of the shoulder. And tighten both armpits lightly.
