For weeks now I have been wondering why the dragonfly is so often used as a motif on Kendo equipment, including one of my tenugui... Google to the rescue...

During this weeks lesson I had the opportunity to train for a short time with a visiting sensei who practises Nito ryu. Picked up lots of useful pointers about keeping good distance and not raising the tip of my shinai too high.
