In this episode, I am sharing what adult kendo practitioners focus on during training. Everyone wants to improve. At non-bogu phase, focus on coordination. Once put a set of bogu on, focus on getting used to it. And also focus on doing things right. It doesn’t matter what level you become, in the end, we all want to have the correct basics.

Enjoy!

In this episode, I want to send a message to those who are thinking about quitting kendo. I thought about quitting a few times in the past. But I am glad I didn’t. If you need a break, take a break. But don’t close the door completely.

In this episode, I am sharing my thoughts on how to beat a person who hides men, kote, and dō at the same time. At one of the posts, Hiro’s Pick: Takenouchi senshu vs Sato senshu, one of the patrons shares his thoughts on this.

I really appreciate him for posting his experiences because it is one of the issues that is talked about at shinpan seminars.

Hope this helps with your kendo study.

In this episode, I am sharing my message for those who failed their exam. I failed exams. I lost in shiai. I am still doing kendo. Failing doesn’t make you a failure. Failing gives you something to work on. Failing is a realization. 

There is mysterious victory, but no mysterious loss. 

There are always reasons why we lose. That means we can always improve ourselves. Losing in shiai and failing an exam give us an opportunity to improve. Take it. And improve yourself!

Hope this helps.
