  1. Nice pod cast. I like this subject. Student retention seems to have always been a problem with kendo in the USA. I feel a lot of it and is from US mentality and ideology is very different than Japan.


    • Thank you, David. This is a serious problem. I have been living outside of Japan for almost 25 years but I still cannot figure out the key to get the students stay.

      Like you said they need a reason to stay. I feel responsible and powerless when I cannot give them one. But after all, it is what they want, not what we or kendo can give them.

      But still I am in this process of getting some answers to how we can keep them in the kendo world.
