What do I want to accomplish in my kendo blog?
This is not the first time I have considered this question. In fact, there is an “About this blog” section to the website! However, it is interesting to pause and reflect on the purpose of this blog, particularly as the reasons behind it have developed somewhat since actually putting together in the first place.
There are plenty of kendo blogs out there in the blogosphere. Each has a different approach to the subject or a different way of presenting it. Mine is a mix of personal reflections as well as more scholarly observations. In other words, the blog is as much about my own personal experiences as a kendoka as it is making comment on aspects of kendo. I don’t claim it to be nearly as ‘academic’ as, say, kenshi247.net – not by a long shot – but I hope it is something that provides an insight into someone’s experiences in learning kendo right from when they first entered the dojo.
