Also, this misconception is very difficult to be correct by the instructors who are teaching beginners with that idea. That's why I am so pleased that you can make sense yourself and share it with all of us.<BR/><BR/>The "fighting part" of Kendo is just an approach for us to understand more about us and the humility etc.<BR/><BR/>It's very nice to read your mail and please continue your Kendo journey. :)<BR/><BR/>Kind regards,<BR/>SamSam Tsaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01097614097721794633noreply@blogger.com
