You return to a position of readiness
Three cracks rang out as two robed men swung swords that connected midair in precise, staccato motions. The men then faced each other silently,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] holding out the arced wooden blades designed for practicing Iaido, a samurai sword-fighting technique.Then Rich McCluer, robed in black, mimicked the act of sheathing his sword.
That's a guard position," he said. "You return to a position of readiness."McCluer, a martial-arts instructor, Winona defense attorney and criminal justice professor at Winona [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]State University, demonstrated the art for a crowd of onlookers Thursday at Saint Mary's University.Money raised at the event, which also featured other elements of Japanese culture, including dance and poetry, will be sent to Winona's sister city, Misato, Japan.
Misato is about 20 miles north of Sendai, a coastal city near the epicenter of Japan's devastating March earthquake. Misato was safely out of the reach of the resulting tsunami, but the quake still destroyed 76 homes, left another 291 damaged, and injured 60 people, according to city records.Winona officials haven't set a specific goal for the weeklong fundraising effort that included Thursday's [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]event, but Winona councilmember Al Thurley said he hoped Winona could repay tenfold Misato's $2,500 donation to the Winona area in 2007,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], following the flood.
