Hospitalized and Healing
I hope this finds you well. I was hospitalized for 2 days for a severe asthma attack at the beginning of this month. 

Finally, I am healing now. At the moment, I am dealing with coughing and irritation in the airway.

Even though I know how to breathe properly, I am going to learn beating of taichi. I heard that the breathing of taichi is very good. And also in kendo, we do not have a "flow" of breathing like taichi. I am excited!

Rule Oriented Kendo?

I was hospitalized for a couple of days early this month for a severe asthma attack. I am getting better even though I still feel weak. I really appreciate caring and positive words from you guys. Thank you!


I received a Kendo Nippon magazine, Issue No. 468, the featured article is, "Improving Shinpan Skills". Shinpan means referee if you are new to the term. 


The article was written based on interviewing Masatake Sumi sensei (8-dan). So some explanations are subjective to Sumi sensei's view on how shinpan should be.

The image is from p.27 in Kendo Nippon Issue No. 468. 

This is a men strike that was seen as a point in the last All Japan Championship.

 
Kendo is...

Kendo is a barometer of life… It’s a tool for self-development and cultivation.

This was an answer to my question, “What is kendo to you?” to Alex Bennett sensei in “Interview with Alex Bennett” when he passed his 7-dan exam at his first attempt.

Support My Work For More Videos and Articles
Support for More Videos and Articles
Making such kendo contents as videos and articles take time. 

I have thought to quit kendo informative videos and articles and to shut down all the kendo websites, because it is a time and money consuming task.

If you like my work and what I do to provide you with the kendo contents, please consider to support me.
