crack!

I am poised, leaning forward. Ready.

I drive forward my body forward, the stick clenched in both hands swings above my head.

I scream, my diaphragm clenching, adding power to my stroke. My ams snap forward at elbow and shoulder and I swing at the head in front of me. My bare foot smacks the ground as the stick makes contact.

Crack!

I continue screaming as I rush past my opponent. I only stop when I turn to face my opponent once again.

Kendo is fun!
