I’ve learned that in order to remember the things that were taught, my body will need to learn Kendo first. I don’t think I’ll be able to go to the next step without making a conscious effort to do this.

I need to know what it feels like to make the proper strike. I need to feel the correct way of doing kata. Reading and watching other people do it is not enough to learn. I can only start learning if my body has felt the proper way of doing it even for just a second.
