Kendo Guide Update

Module 2: The Effortless Strike – Coming Soon

I’m putting the final touches on Kendo Guide 2026, Module 2: The Effortless Strike. Many of you have shared that "relaxing" during keiko is a challenge. In this module, I focus on practical ways to make your strikes feel lighter and more natural, from the "Wet Tenugui" tenouchi theory to refining your grip and mindset. These lessons are the result of years of teaching, observation, and practice.

Your Input Matters

I want these videos to be tools you use—not just watch. Once this module is live, I ask you to:

• Take the drills from the video to your next practice.
• Let me know what changes you notice—was it your speed, shoulder tension, or timing?
• Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments or by replying.

Your feedback helps me refine these methods and create new methods, and supports everyone in our kendo community.
