Communication and Kendo, Part 2

In my last post about communication and its relationship to kendo, I talked about the first tenet of kendo - it is the art of self-improvement. Today, I want to introduce the second tenet and how it relates to communication. This is called "Ki-ken-tai-ichi" and means (as close to translation as I can get) bringing together your mind and body through your sword.
