It collects the advices given by more experienced kendo practitioners as well as those from my own experiences. Both technical and the mental aspects of kendo are written in the blog. I hope someone will find them useful or interesting at least! Monday, May 02, 2011. Stepping right foot to the left while striking kote. And I should make my men-strike more explosive.

This meaning does not incorporate all Sensei who are overweight. Not all Fat Sensei are themselves overweight (some are skinny), it is just that the type of people whom I am trying to describe are often Sensei who are, well, fat.
