In this episode, I am sharing “The advanced techniques built on the basics” by Yano sensei. He tells that all the basics teach us the advanced techniques.  I agree with that and I was taught like that too. But I think we need to change some perspectives in that. Don’t you think?

In this episode, I would like to share an article from the book, “Senshi karano Dengon (Messages from The Late Senseis)” written by Hiroshi Yano sensei (8-dan). He talks about an episode of Takano sensei heard from Ono sensei (9-dan). Enjoy!

In this episode, I am sharing a view on what tradition we should keep and remove from kendo. This argument will be always there as long as kendo exists. And this is something we should always think about.

Do you think the late starters become 8-dan? I mean those who started kendo in their 30s or 40s. My father started kendo when he was 55. He passed away 1 year or even less before he was going for 6-dan. He became 5-dan before me.

I have come to the point that the late starters should practice kendo differently from the traditional ways. I am still in search of new ways.

Do you have any good methods?
