Okay, so I was wondering, I'm trying to grow thicker calluses on my feet and I was wondering if there is some way to speed the healing process? Right now, I just put moisturizer on my feet every day on the effected areas (heel, and front bottom of foot before the toes whatever that's called). Any other suggestions?

How many times do you pratice kendo on a week?
maybe take a brake could help the cicatrization process!

There are a few schools of thought on this. Some people say, "Wait! Don't go to practice! Let it heal, then start again." That's rubbish. Don't waste practice opportunities.
Some have suggested wearing a supporter. This is somewhat better. However, many people start to rely on the supporter, and it often leads to problems with footwork going uncorrected.
I would recommend the obvious, cleaning up the blisters, then taping them. Sometimes I don't bother to tape them at all, but that is out of laziness, and it's not a good idea. Even if it hurts your feet, keep practicing. A blister is not a life-threatening problem, and it isn't an injury that can cause any permanent damage. (It seems safe to assume that no one is going to get gangrene.)

Someone once told me to use lemonjuice, if you use it on the blister (hurts like hell I bet) the next day it would supposodly be hardend skin
I don't know if I should take this seriously, never used it before, but it's another idea....
