Sword Return

Ready to do your form for the upcoming tournament on February 21st? Good. Here are some thoughts around preparing.

Pick a form and focus on it. If possible, do the form twice a day, starting today, up until the day before the tournament. Steady, regular practice is the best way toward improvement.

Do the form a couple of times in front of people who don’t know the form. Ask a friend or family member to sit in a chair and watch you do the form. This will help reduce nervousness when you have to stand up and do the form in front of the judges.

Ask questions in class about your form. Solicit your teacher’s feedback. Solicit your fellow student’s feedback.
