Has anyone seen the diagram of the hitting dummy in 'Complete Kendo' (by Hiroshi Ozawa if I'm not mistaken?) it's got a lineart picture of a hitting dummy on a stand, it's shaped like an upside down L so that you can run right through, and the striking target is moutned on some sort of pulley system, so that when you strike it, the target drops down, and then flips back up-- apparently the idea being that you hit it, and then go through, and if you're too fast, you get smacked in the face, and if you're too slow going through, it will wrap you on the head as you pass by, sounds pretty cool... anyone ever seen oen of these in real life?
