Ever feel like your opponent is playing to wear you down? Sometimes it's less about skill and more about stamina. It's frustrating when someone changes the game. "Not that that's a good excuse..."

From 230 to 180! It's about more than just numbers — it's about adapting and avoiding injury. The journey is step by step. What's possible when you focus on adapting the process to the individual? "I was often injured, I was overweight, I was out of shape."

Is there more to martial arts than just fighting? It's like, regular sports don't have that close relationship with religion. But when your life is on the line, faith often steps in. Like the cross-guard salute before battle — a moment of reverence.

From the dojo to careers, Kendo forged unexpected paths for these friends. What began as shared training evolved into a lifelong bond. Sometimes, the greatest lessons aren't in the techniques, but in the connections we make.
