ejmas.com/tin/2007tin/tinart_taylor_0710.html Push and Pull: The Importance of Language in Iaido
Language is important. The words we use in our heads when practicing iaido are important. Instructors and students may not realize just how important they are, but here's a small example of how carefully we should pick our words. Beginners are likely to say that we pull the sword out of the scabbard, and we push it back in. Sounds right? Ok here's the experiment, go and say to yourself, or tell some beginners to pull the sword out of the saya (nuki tsuke), and watch carefully what happens. Now tell them to push the sword out. See any difference?
