There was a scary looking old man that everyone paid the highest respect that they possibly paid. This person was the late Juichi Tsurumaru sensei who later passed his 9-dan exam. And 7 years after I saw him for the first time, he would show me whom I really was dealing with.

In this episode, I would like to share the memories of the late Juichi Tsurumaru sensei (9-dan).

Hope you will enjoy!

In this podcast, I would like to introduce an interview from Kendo Nippon Magazine. The legendary Edo sensei asking an 8-dan sensei about what it means to be 8-dan and what they are unexpected to do.

You cannot really see a 6-dan interviewing an 8-dan who is younger than the 6-dan. So the 6-dan sensei is asking questions that many people want to but cannot ask. Very interesting interview.

I hope you enjoy!

Do you hear people say, “It’s not against the rules so it’s OK to do that”?

How do you want to win? How do you want to lose?

Fight with your dignity not by the rules.

How do you think we can win in kendo? Do you think hitting a target is winning in kendo? If yes, then why people say “it is not about hitting targets in kendo”. If no, then how do we know who’s won or lost?

In this episode, I want to talk about “What is Winning in Kendo?” Episode 01: A Sign of Your Loss is related to this episode.
