Thank you very much... I never knew about " pausing"!!..
Kendo-Guide.Com: Good! You can try to pause when striking next time.

the stop in suburi by: Christoph
Practicing your suburi in a slow pace allows you to emphasise the stop. A lot of people (myself included) have a tendency to keep swinging when doing fast suburi, whereas you always have to pause at the end of your cut.
When you're doing hayasuburi another common problem is pausing at the wrong time. You pause at the end of the cut, i.e. when you hit men and not when you pull the shinai back.
As my sensei always says, kendo is all about the details...
Kendo-Guide.Com: Thank you for your comment. People tend to forget about the origin of kendo, even though it is called ken (sword) do. This ?ken? part is what we always want to remember during our training.
