When talking about blisters on my hand when first starting kendo, sensei asked which hand. I told him the left. His reply...

"left is good, that is kendo. If you said right, that's not kendo, you just need a girl friend very badly."

Absolutely brilliant

[D'Artagnan]

He also said just before suburi at the last training

"welcome to hell..."

oh yes and a bit later :-

"50 Choyaku Suburi..... One breath!!!"

Hey D'Artagnan,
thats sounds more like an intro to kendo boot camp than your normal kendo training.

[Koori]

I was on the floor in pain and sensei walked up to me and bent over and said, "You Ok, Now get up and strike me."

My sensei's one liner:
"You don't just get fast. Practise is the key. Through practise comes technique, through technique comes speed."

[Danny Boy]

"You're all worthless and weak....now drop down and give me 20"

[TKO]

To train your heart, do more summer kendo

"HaHaHa"-evil chuckle
and
"if this is hard, you havent been practising enough" (we are rolling around in agony going "we know, dont rub it in") but also many encouraging statements come such as "well done" and "only one more"

"Finger lost, grip difficult, eh?" Hirakawa-sensei, kyoshi hachi dan, at seminar this weekend in malmoe, Sweden on the topic of cuts that hit the fingers. I never got if it was a bad thing or a good thing though, he laghued a lot saying it.

Before every Taikai My Sempei would reminds us…

“Remember your technique is dead, but your opponent is alive”
– meaning never relies on your technique, and always readies to adapt to your opponent.

Haha...Hirakawa Sensei is a great guy! He was teaching us at the Edinburgh Seminar(Post WKC). He's got a great(if not a bit twisted ) sense of humour...his famous debana chin chin still brings on a chuckle

"We need to change our Sunday’s Keigo to a earlier time so everyone can enjoy NFL Sunday”…. GO 49ers!!!!

and how about his " What you don't sweat out when you are young turns into tears when your old" or "we'll just do five more minutes as there are others waiting to use the Doj (half an hour later we leave the floor)"

"Wow, you really ARE your own worst enemy..."

I'd just tripped on my hakama and taken a header into the floor.
