Hi guys, I'm finally in a good place to do some kendo and was wondering if you could answer some questions. I have a little informal sword experience - mostly kumitachi taught to me by an iai instructor along with the first few seitei kata. I have also just moved away from the dojo where I was training Toda-ha Buko ryu naginata, hence I am used to very deep stances. I am wondering if I will struggle at all with kendo since it seems to be so light on the feet. I am also curious how hard it will be for me to learn to "pull" my strikes so to speak, since I am used to cutting all the way from previous training.
Look forward to any thoughts.....
