Kendo and Me
Studied
Kendo since 1980
Other Martial Arts Experience: Iaido, Karate, and Jodo
For me Kendo is more
than a martial art - it is a way of living. I try to apply the principles
of Kendo training to my everyday business and private life. I use the
techniques of mediation, concentration and trying to anticipate my opponents'
moves in my job as General Manager of a management company.
Kendo
is also for me a source of friendship and extended family, and the dojo
environment is unique in that true bonds of friendship are established
through the demands and aims of Kendo training.
