Kendo grading on Sunday 16 December 2007
Chikushi Sensei came down to judge for the grading!! Super happy to see him and glad to be able to keiko with him!
Wah! Miss him sooo much since we came back from the Asean tourny. Must plan to go KL to find him one day! He's still the same humorous & passion about Kendo.
Congratulations to everyone who passed their grading & those who did well too! I'm very happy for Yixin as she really tried her very best during the grading & it was very clear too. Some people believes grading depends on luck & i think its quite true to a certain extend but i alwaz believe that if u passed based on your hard work, or if u feels that u 'luckily' passed, the most important thing at the end of the day is to train even harder after the grading. Then you really deserves the grade.
Over these few years in kendo, i have seen many people working hard or giving up in kendo. i have seen people who doesn't do so well at first but never stop trying until they achieved a sense of satisfaction in their own kendo. There are also those who started out as the 'gifted' or 'potential' ones but later gave up or just become lazy. i believe in talented people but i believe more in getting a greater sense of satisfaction if u had actually work hard for it.
