Greetings all,
I am visiting some family and was getting in touch with some people in the area when I happened across a group of people who "sparr" with shinai (sp? the wooden kendo swords). Any way I worked with the "leader" of this group and a few other and discovered that what they do has absolutely NO martial value. They are playing some sort of tag game with sticks and very limited target areas. After I showed them some WMA stuff they where rather excited about it and have asked me to meet with their entire group and be a "Guest Teacher" and show them some WMA sword fighting skills. So anyway what shold I work on with these people? I only have one night to work with them and I also do not want to step on any toes if possable. I was thinking about dealing with movment, timing and some basic strikes and parrys and then do a little sparring with them. Any suggestions or comments?
