"...if you do not become one with the art you persue..."

I know everyone can interpret this differently, but can't this be something like dedication? Hence, for those who do enjoy Kendo as merely a sport, as long as they are dedicated to it, then they are finding what they want as the "spirit" of Kendo, whether it be the competition or just the fun of it or the discipline and ritual of it.

I do look forward to discovering more about ki and all the random comments people and my sensei have made about it, but you are definitely looking for something quite different than a lot of the people on this forum. Although you are taking to such a different extreme, that it is unfair to call the sports minded Kendo people fools.
