Suburi Basics 2

SPC taught me this many times, but it all starts to make sense to me now:

When doing Suburi, put the emphasis on the strike, meaning that I should squeeze at the point of impact (imagining that I'm hitting Men). Thus, the strike should nicely cut Men (and not just repeatitive swings --- which is pointless practice). Fewer Suburi with the right emphasis on that squeeze is better than many Suburi w/out the correct form (this is useless).

SPC said that that squeeze will help me in striking the valid strike in real keiko. Since, in keiko, we never really swing big, that quick and firm squeeze at the end will give that solid and valid strike.
