To Song5

This pretains to the previous comment I have written in regards to what I thought of your Kendo. I apologize if I haven't been as helpful in the past, not because I didn't want to, but because I view myself as a fellow student on a similar journey as yours. There are perhaps a little tips here and there I could share with you, since what you are going through now, chances are I have been there before.
Kendo is an eternal inner struggle. When you are at the dojo facing an opponent, it is infact you are facing yourself. Within your inner mind, the opponent does not exist. It is yourself that you have challenge and defeat; your fears, your doubts and confusions. For when you have defeated an aspect of yourself, you will then become a stronger person, not only in Kendo but in life as well.
Please do not get discouraged even when you are frustrated.
