Something that Needs to Be Experienced

People tend to forget that kendo is full contact. And people forget that they need to actually practice kendo to understand the teachings of kendo.

Same goes to the instructors. We can "teach" them what kendo is and what is about. But when we really want the students to understand we need to show them. Even that means it takes pains.

Sensei Can Shatter You From Inside

Argh, you bloody ****! You hit too hard!!!!!

Familiar? Even if this hasn't happened to you yet, you might have heard someone saying that :)

Yes, kendo is full contact. But it doesn't mean those strikes have to be as hard as hell. I have received millions of strikes for the last 38 years of practicing kendo.

You don't strike hard in kendo. You strike so your opponent feel it inside. Here is how I learned.

More Contents to Come

"The Messages from the Masters" by Hiroshi Yano (8-dan, Hanshi) sensei. These books will be awesome to read and share the knowledge of the sensei with you.

Yano sensei learned kendo from the legendary Sasaburo Takano sensei (Father of Modern Kendo) and Soichiro Ono sensei (9-dan). His knowledge is treasure for us.

I will talk about the contents in Kendo Podcast sponsored by those Kendo For Life Members at Patreon.Com. Without their support, I will face a financial difficulty to keep sharing knowledge with you. When you have some extra bucks to buy some coffee, join us to learn and study kendo!
