About Me
I have trained sword fighting for more than twenty years.
I learned most from a Japanese teacher who taught in Amsterdam.
He was a true source of knowledge about these traditions and sometimes told me
that training is like a walk. It does not matter how quickly you reach the goal
but what you see during your walk and what you will take.
For me, training is more than just learning technology, but indeed following
of a path that always provides new insights, and confronts with its own strength, weakness and failure.
Since it is a martial tradition, there is a strong tendency to fall into kind of hardness, kind of imitation warrior, but over time it has also become clear to me
that training should lead to softening, mildness. Or as my teacher said training does not make softer harder.
I have experienced that training is a good way to face everyday life
Also with a friend I once learned. With what I taught him, he got another drug friend. A result that, incidentally, must be written to account for, not mine.
I can honestly say about myself that I know a few things but I am still at the beginning. The only thing I can do is walk and watch.
I've done teaching before but I always thought training was more important. That I am now teaching
to give has to do with the fact that I do not want to lose the knowledge I received from the teacher
let go pass.
