    Your Sensei’s one liner…

    Been to various Dojo, and every Sensei have its one liner or “kun”. Tell us what is your Dojo’s favored line.


    Here a few..

    “Don’t think too much!"

    ”When you see it, it’s too late"

    ”Just go with your intuition”

    “Learn your Basic waza well, techniques change over time because YOU change. Basic waza doesn’t”

    Kendo is easy
    Just lift the shinai up, and put it down
    But you have to know WHEN

    " See this? Bam ! That's how you do it "
    "Don't go BAM, BAM, BAM - just BAM!"
    "Don't move your head, step aside"

    Oh yes and "Keep the Center - do not give it up!"

    Center - Yes

    Karaken, During any shiai...only thing I have back of my mind is "KEEP THE CENTER” I think, no matter how strong your opponent is.. If you don’t move, it is very difficult for them to attack.
