How do I start without tapping or double bumping the swords together?
The idea is to contact the O/T’s sword at a single still point, so placing your second hand on the back of the blade while steadying the first contact is sometimes helpful or as some people prefer, the other hand can be placed on the lower part of the long handle, then using a slow drawing movement, like gently placing the bow on violin strings, you can join with your O/T and start or continue your Game. In all Instances though it is good to take a “Good deep Breath”; this could be all you need to ground yourself.
