At kendo practice this Thursday, I realized that I've been coasting too much at practice for a while now. I realized this when Kim sensei pointed out during suburi (素振り) that my step size should be bigger.
I should be putting in more effort. I've been hiding behind my elbow discomfort, telling myself I'm trying to establish confidence, etc. I need to return to the roots of kendo and push myself instead. The senseis, Tanaka sensei in particular, have been pushing me still. But on my own, I feel I have not been putting in the same amount of dedication.
Time to change.
Oh yeah, and I failed my yondan (四段) test again, for the 3rd time. >_< :(
