"Every training can be very hard if you make it hard. Even one single men strike can be really hard if you make it very hard. "
This is what I?ve been told, repeatedly. . . . by "good" sensei(s)!
Kendo-Guide.Com: Thanks for your comment, Eric. The reason why many senseis repeatedly tell us this is simply it is very important and also very hard to do.
It is very hard to do because people, in general, don?t like make things harder for themselves. We all know it is for our own improvement. Yet, we betray ourselves. We break promises we have made with ourselves.
If we can do this simple thing everyday in our daily life, we can improve ourselves rapidly. I have been fighting my laziness for a long time through kendo. Kendo helps me a lot but still long way to go!
