<br />
One of their trainers, Ellis Reader, bought along his sword especially for Blake to see, touch and learn about. His very own special lesson! Ellis is a 1st dan black belt who specialises in Iaido (sword drawing).<br />

Iaido is the Japanese Budo Martial Art that specialises in sword drawing - it emphasizes being aware and capable of quickly drawing the sword and responding to a sudden attack. Special attention is given to etiquette, posture, breathing and technical precision.<br /><br />Iaido can be roughly translated to English as “<i>being constantly (prepared), match/meet (the opposition) immediately</i>”.... The primary emphasis in 'iai' is on the psychological state of being present (居). The secondary emphasis is on drawing the sword and responding to the sudden attack as quickly as possible (合).<br /><br />Ellis went through and named the parts of his sword, what they were made of, and the ways to hold and draw the sword. A very special moment for a 7 year old who wants to be a sword maker when he grows up!<br /><br /><br /><br />Karen Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14106527495690283980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623567719519357641.post-6816032087943322502016-12-04T19:17:00.000+13:002016-12-07T19:18:48.171+13:00ocean beach duningJust to hot to do anything else, (35 deg on the boat) so a trip to the beach to cool off was a must!

<br />
She kindly said the kids could join in with her next batch of cheese making!<br />
<br />
So first we got introduced to "Kevin", the well fed kefir culture. We were informed about the process in which he ferments and how it is important to feed him or he will turn sour.<br />

In the meantime... while we are visiting Whangarei, the kids had a job to do!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This required the kids to sort and divide the plants into even locations around the soil, dig holes, gently plant their plants and water them when they can remember!</div>
