Notes:
- Objectives
- To help students understand that the shinai represents a katana,
and nurture a deeper appreciation of the sword.
- To learn fundamental techniques thereby providing a foundation
for developing more advanced skills (shikake waza, oji waza).
- To help practitioners learn kendo kata more easily.
- The terms kakarite and motodachi are employed to underscore the
intention that both roles are carried out on equal footing.
