So it's been a month since I became a student of Shinkendo at Mashuu Dojo and I can honestly say that for the first time in many many years, I actually look forward to going to my workouts that last 2 hours a night, twice a week. I just wish I could attend more, but work and life being what it is, so be it. Plus, I don't want to over do it just yet.
It is really nice to have something like this to be passionate about and have that passion reflected in the dedication and professionalism of the Instructor and his student teachers. I have to admit that with the preparations for the audit at work winding down where I will be flying more once the audit is done, I'm a bit annoyed that I won't be in town to maintain the pace of my training.
I will say this about the workouts: The make you sweat! Lots of forms and movements that are aerobic and isometric. It kicks your butt after a couple hours :P With luck, I will be a lot less of myself in a hurry. We shall see. This art is a wonderful art and I highly recommend it for those with the passion and discipline to learn it. Jensei Shinkendo!
