I love martial arts very much. It's hard to pin exactly what it is that draws me towards martial arts, but there's something that makes me restless and eager to learn it.
One of the beautiful things about martial arts, particularly kendo where you're always working with a partner, is your sharing your best with someone. Sometimes, definitely not always, everything you're doing is right. Even if you don't know the technique so well or you're not scoring, you're working the right way. You're remembering everything you've been told, you're completely focused, the energy is there, and you're absolutely in the moment. Of course even then you may screw up, but you're practicing right, and that makes it euphoriatic. And then, your partner is too. And that's it. Two people sharing the very best of themselves, and suddenly martial arts becomes a very intimate activity. You're sharing the moment, sharing the euphoria, sharing the energy, sharing yourselves. You can never dislike someone you've shared your best with. It's a beautiful thing to be entrusted with the best of someone, even to be able to see the best of someone is incredible. But to also put your own best out there, to share it with someone, that's incredible.
Can you understand this?
