I just realized that I haven’t been active in Kendo for at least one month now, sure I have been to practice here and there, but nothing regular and I never really got my rhythm either. I was reminded of that last Sunday both by the senseis and by my own body. SMura Sensei paired me up with Mr. Concorde for the entire basic practice. I basically had to give everything I have in me to match Mr. Concorde’s speed and intensity. After basic practice I was totally drained, I wasn’t short of breath but even breathing was tiring for me.
I only had one more keiko left in me at that point and Mr. SMura picked up on that. It was a terrible keiko for me, I am ashamed that I had stoop to that level yesterday. Mr. SMura basically had his way with me and even slammed me to the ground at one point.
This is rude awakening for me, I HAVE to get back to Kendo, I have left it behind for too long now. Juggling my work, private life and Kendo is indeed a challenge, but I have done it once before, I am sure I could do it again…
