Posted on August 27, 2018 by Hiro

I cannot say this enough; we never end to learn kata. Kata is a way more than just forms. The more you studied, the more your learn different things. I really need to go back to Japan and learn kata.

Podcast 122: Unwritten Regulations/Rules

Posted on August 20, 2018 by Hiro

In this episode, I want to talk about some issues we have over unwritten regulations/rules.

Recently I saw a post saying “Don’t you think clapping to penalties of your opponent team players is rude in shiai”. This got into a big argument on one of the biggest kendo forum on the Internet, Ichini-kai.

I thought this is a good opportunity for us to think about it too.
