Kendo for LIFE

Kendo-Guide.Com Newsletter, Issue #051 - How To Prevent Your Shinai From Breaking...

We are enjoying hot weather these days in Indiana, USA. It had been raining so I really do like sunny days we have now.

Living My Dream

There was an article about e-bogu in Kendo Nippon magazine.

Taro Ariga sensei (President and CEO) is living my dream. He has a kendo related job and travels around the world (kendo related). Contributing to the kendo communities all over the world.

And in the article, he says,

"My dream is to popularize kendo all over USA and other countries".

That is my dream too!!

And he also has his own dojo! That is exactly how I want to do.

The journey has just started for me and I don't know if KFL will be as successful as e-bogu or Kendo World.

But I cannot stop now, can I??
