Mmm, er... my Journal entry 19 Aug 02 (Matthew, were you away or you're not paying attention
)
"Jikeiko is not Shiai, so do not be afraid of being hit on the head. You are not trying to win points, and you will not be losing one. Keep your posture and do not move your head. No blocking and no dodging. Do not mind if your opponent hit you, but rather pay attention to giving a good cut..."
-- Humm Sensei
And sometimes it's very useful to watch how people do good cuts by looking forward into their eyes (esp in Kihon).
Meanwhile I'm trying to escape from "Conan Men" by looking UP a bit at the moment of impact (instead of ducking down)... So that the very edge part of the leather + Men-gane will be receiving it, and not the back of my head...
