Fumikomi is a big issue for a lot of kendo practitioners.  Have you ever practiced suburi with fumikomi? Unless that kind of fumikomi suburi is made, we really don’t have suburi to practice fumikomi. OK, let’s get into the issue!

An article made me talk about this. In this episode,  I would like to talk about kendo, death and hope.

The article that gave me a chance to talk about this:

Hidehisa Nishimura (All Japan Champ) who works for Kumamoto Pref. Riot Police Units shares his experience of Kumamoto Earthquakes, “It is very difficult to shift my mindset as a member of the Riot Police Units to a kendoist. It is true that I feel pressure in kendo. If I lose, I might be criticised. But we won’t die by losing in shiai, will we? But my work to save people’s lives was side by side with death. I was overwhelmed by that fear and could not get over it and practice kendo.” p.57 Kendo Nippon Magazine 2016 August Issue. Translated by Masahiro Imafuji
