無心 - No "winning" mind
I had an awesome keiko (training) in Dojo last evening with Colin.
That's the first ever Kendo keiko we had since 2000 we met in Christchurch National Seminar.
It's a challenging and productive keiko.
What made it challenging is we are new to each other in regarding Kendo practice. But none of us wants to "win" from each other. Instead, we try to make an ippon.
The productive part is I understand myself more after Colin told me how he felt about my seme.
昨天跟一位認識將近十五年的劍友,終於有了第一次的比賽練習。
這對我而言,是一次很具挑戰性以及收穫豐富的比賽練習。因為,我們儘管是老朋友,但是
在劍道上卻像是從未謀面的對手。重點是,我們心裡對於彼此的信任與安全感,讓我們都沒有想要贏對方的意思,反而是希望能夠擊出「一本」。
練習之後,我們很自然地分享自己剛剛在練習時的心態以及對彼此的看法。就在Colin跟我描述了他對於我的「攻」的感覺之後,我更加了解自己,以及需要加強的地方。
