高館長はじめ先生方、また兄弟子の皆さんの懇切なご指導の下、シンガポール道場にて稽古に励んでいます。日々の様々な出来事を横に置き、集中力を高め、心静かに、技のどの瞬間にも自分が今できる全てを出し切ろうと努力することは、まさに己との闘いであり、禅の精神にも通じるものであると考えます。

道場における稽古中の緊張感と稽古後のファミリー的な暖かい雰囲気のコンビネーションが、練習生が常に前向きに稽古に取り組める環境を作り出していると思います。先生方はじめ道場関係者の皆さんに大変感謝しています。

I have enjoyed Iai-do training under the gentle and thoughtful instructions by Koh-Kancho, other Senseis and senior fellows in Singapore Dojo. Setting various daily events aside, enhancing concentration and calming myself down, I try to give all of myself at any one time in performing a waza; which is a battle with myself and has something in common with Zen (meditation). A combination between the tension over the training session and a warm family-like atmosphere after the session generates an ideal tone in Singapore Dojo that allows trainees to tackle and enjoy their trainings proactively.

I am very much grateful to all Senseis and fellows in Singapore Dojo for providing me the opportunity to pursue such a wonderful experience.
