Ya know, i think i found the worst kind of suburi last night

[Lil' Kenshi]

My sensei asked us to do the normal 200 low downward swings, but with one grim difference. we did squats at the ame time. Plus he'd hit the top of our shoulders in between swings.

If you have a more sadistic sensei tell me

If you are ever in NW England, drop by the dojo here at Preston, we'll introduce you to hell. my teacher has, what he calls, "A Fetish for Suburi!"

p.s. my teacher never whacks us whilst we are doing suburi though, he's do busy doing suburi with us!

Before kendo he teaches like 5 jujitsu classes so he is kinda recovering during our suburi. Actually, I just tell myself that so i dont go beliveing my sensei is not a sadistic maniac.

I visited Santiago, Chile about a month ago.. They were doing all kind of suburi for warm up. By the time when I thought it was done, they were doing 1000 Suburi again... Welcome party....

[Lil' Kenshi]

whats a plonk file?

Hmm. That kind of suburi is pretty beneficial now that I think about it...Well...Maybe I'm wrong as usual.

don't do too much of that..knee problems start arising if too much squat suburi according to our sensei..haya suburi is hard enough. But I did see suburi from korean guy. He would squat..then as he hit men, he would spring forward in the air then back to squat position again..he did that, circling arouns the bball court and i thought wow...that's something i wish will not be included in the warm ups hahaha

I know exactly how you feel,but we have done even more interesting exercises:)
Try 200 haya suburi at the end of the practise.It's so much fun,you feel sooooo relaxed and almost liquid :D

My old teacher ended with 500 hayasuburi. After that, we'd get down in sonkyo and do 30 haya suburi from down there. Try it; it absolutely kills your thighs.

WOW!! and I thought the combination of men-suburi and kote suburi was hard enough twice through!maybe I could suggest that the next time I go for training~~kekeke.=P

last monday we did squat suburi..i mean normal squat suburi is not bad..but when you start holding it for 15 sec each squat about..i haven't been training regularly and after about 15-20 of those..my torso nearly collapsed on my legs..haha i looked drunk walking in circles trying to keep my balance :ko:

[piggy]

well, i make sure to stay clear of that method by doing it incognito...

I havent been able to do haya suburi yet, I've only seen it done. To me it kinda resembles somthing similar to that evil arcade dancing game, but I can figure out how to do it fluidly or correctly from watching. Does anyone know of a site with instructions for HAYA SUBURI?

[piggy]

it could be on this site but i may very well be mistaken...

if you cant find it, just google it (obviously)
