I'm just curious how much pain (in regard to injuries, etc...) do you tolerate while doing kendo? How much do you take before to decide to take a little time off? As for me, my feet are the only thing that have some pain. Because it's so cold out here, and none of the dojos I practice at are heated, my feet get super cold and dry. Then they crack and I get tears under my toes. (Usually on the left foot where the pinky toe meets the sole) But because my feet are numb from the cold, I don't even feel it, till after practive and its bleeding. Then I can't do kendo for like a week. Other than that, my right heel hurts sometimes, depending where I practice (A gym floor, or a proper Kendo dojo) other than that, I'm pretty straight. But it does effect my kendo, I can't give it my all when something hurts. How about you guys?
