Bokken Sticking at the Introduction to Sabre evening. This is an introductory exercise devised by Mark to develop sensitivity. The person with the bokken has their eyes closed and is sticking to the hand of their partner as they move it freely around. Somehow we have to reach into our partner through this apparently inanimate object and transform it from seeming like a blunt instrument. Mark likened it to the oneness a skilled craftsperson has with their tool, a painter's brush, a chef's knife, etc.
