I am very proud to say I am the first blind kendo practitioner in Chile. I started back in january this year. It's an honour. We're a growing dojo, and I have found knowledge, wisdom, and family. We're now working with sensei, shihan, and the federation to adapt combat and lessons, so not only would I be able to fight, but also share my world with the rest. It's been wonderful. Hugs, oss!

Salamat (Thank You), Sensei! I start wholeheartedly officially today - dedicating my Life to Kendo. Since I have Practiced Shin Buddhism for over a year and have become a person of acclaim for our Religion becoming Moderator for PureLand Buddhism Center of The Philippines. I realized that I felt really strange in an *eerie way being Christian (Born Again) practicing Kendo so I looked for Japanese Culture influences to sort it out and just my luck 🥳 ✓ I was found by Frank Castelloe and is now listening to Japanese Dharma Talks /I highly Revere the "Samurai Way" ^that is why it is important for me to go deep Spiritually

As I begin to teach a little in kendo class, I've been wondering what to start with as a focus. This is so great in answering that question. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for your comment and you're welcome, @AaronRowell! 😄 The majority of people don't like repetition because they get bored quickly. That is human nature so you need to mix things up a bit so they don't get bored. Just a tip 😉
