Hi all,
I was wondering if you could possibly add some useful tips and stuff in here for new ladies to iaido...

I know I like my students to have lighter iaito anyway, and obviously try and get my juniors to buy such. In addition rottunpunk has already mentioned she likes thin obi and wears her hakama in a certain way in order to allow the saya to sit better. So... I thought this thread would not only help you pass the time over the Xmas break but may be useful to beginners if you can gather up the 'things you need to know' in one thread... (it will also save me having to try and remember stuff every time I get a new batch of female students at uni...)

p.s. if anyone comes up with a 'super kneepads' idea please pass it on....
