Studying Kendo Science (lenghty read!!)

The medics might be right, but all that disorders enumerated turn to nothing against the so many things that you gain from kendo. Besides, every medal has its reverse. But I would say I consider that medicine less due to story, happened to my friend. Once he had been seriously bad after trial. Doctors did miracle saving him, and said therefore that he ain't have much time to live. He tryed that time much to keep him better. And when he found kendo, it was like second breath for his organizm. He is very active player for now. The next time medics wondering he's still alive, he smiles in return. That is the way kendo is.

I'm definitely going with the "now I know, but I'm still going to do kendo" mentality. It isn't unexpected at all that there would be accidents or medical problems, since it is very much physical. I understood that before my first practice yesterday, I even witnessed an accident where someone missed a tsuki shot and hit the other guy in the throat (don't worry, everything and everyone is fine). Physical activities sometimes create physical problems, same goes with iaido/iaijutsu.

Why was this old topic unnecessarily resurrected from the grave?

Hi Kendoka friends,

So ... do you want to live for ever ?

Just interesting to know what they are all doing in Education Universities when they are not having Kendo sessions.
