style=\"margin: 0mm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">This past November, I was incredibly fortunate enough to have the opportunity to visit the Shiku Kai Dojo in Kanagawa, Japan. While I was extremely nervous to practice in such a new environment, the dojo\u2019s overwhelming kindness and concise instruction pushed me to have the most fun in kendo I have ever had.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0mm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">For me, I think the most striking aspect I noticed was the way Iwanami Sensei \u2013 and all of the other senseis \u2013 approached practice. Everyone emphasized maintaining a perfect form and, most importantly, making kendo simple. While this did not take away from the difficulty or the focus of kendo, it was a straightforward idea that enhanced the way I practiced while in Japan. Everyday, Iwanami Sensei had us do three men in front of the dojo, and each day, I felt myself improving steadily. I think the biggest factor that contributed to this was how involved the motodachi were. They consistently put pressure on me, so there was never a moment where I could lose focus; however, at the same time, they were always willing to point out small details to help me improve. At its core, Shiku Kai\u2019s mentality when it came to practice really made a difference for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0mm;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">While keiko was definitely daunting for me at the start, it ended up becoming one of the most exciting parts about practice. It never got any less scary, but all of the Sensei made sure that I had no time to think during it. I was encouraged to attack without hesitation and to go for attacks that helped me improve, not just ones that were within reach for me. The keiko felt extremely focused, and if I hesitated for even a second, I was hit immediately. This continued on from the beginning until the end, and was one of the main factors that made it so exciting. Everyone was unbelievably strong, spirited, and super fun to train with, so I felt myself getting uplifted just by practicing with them, even as I got tired.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0mm; text-indent: 36.0pt;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black;\">My time at Shiku Kai was undoubtedly the best experience I have ever had in kendo. From Iwanami Sensei to even the kids at Shiku Kai \u2013 everybody\u2019s immense commitment and focus during practice inspired me to keep pushing myself everyday. Even now, it is an experience that has helped me improve as a person as well. I do not think I will ever have the words to express how grateful I am for everyone at Shiku Kai, but I know for certain that I am extremely excited to come back to practice soon as possible. <\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2023\u5e7411\u6708\u306b\u30a2\u30e1\u30ea\u30ab\uff08\u30aa\u30af\u30e9\u30db\u30de\uff09\u304b\u3089\u30de\u30a4\u30b1\u30eb\u4ed64\u540d\u3067 &#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":352,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2301","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shikukai.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shikukai.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shikukai.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shikukai.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shikukai.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2301"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/shikukai.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2301\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2304,"href":"https:\/\/shikukai.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2301\/revisions\/2304"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shikukai.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shikukai.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
