Although it's not listed on our schedule, we will periodically have early morning Saturday practice in a small studio that can accommodate 4-6 iaidoka. This time gives us an extra opportunity to get some practice in for things we want to revisit or brush up on. And then of course we go out for breakfast.

How early does practice start? Let's just say they're sometimes referred to as the "Saturday Morning Zombie Meetup".

How early can *you* go?

On the topic of awareness and zanshin (残心), we decided to put one senior student's to the test after class had ended. How well did they do in capturing the other iaidoka?
