Kendo and Me
I have been practicing
Kendo for just on 20 years and I owe it so much.
The situations I face
when practicing Kendo are just the same as situations faced in everyday
life. I find that attempting to deal with fear, doubt, confusion and sometimes
surprise make up good part of a typical Kendo practice and in many cases
a good part of my working day as I attempt to continue to grow my small
chain of retail shops. This is why for me Kendo and business are such
a challenge and therefore something that I can learn huge amount about
myself from.
The key for me is
keep doing Kendo, not to look at it as some kind hobby that I could get
a little sick of as time goes on.
We have a fantastic
Kendo club in Auckland and we welcome Kendoist from all over the world - our dojo is a Kendo
dedicated space of which we are all very proud.
