Ofcourse it's double sided.

Things can work out between each other.

Like h20 mentioned, don't start backing off on how you do your kendo with each other because then you just stop doing correct kendo which is kinda disrespectfull towards yourself and your dojo.

Sure you can have a relationship with someone at a dojo or start one but the both of you should understand that while you are at the dojo, there is none and as soon as you are up against one another you'd have to give it the full 100%.

Not everybody can handle this.

Of course when a higher dan goes against someone who just started kendo you'd say, "they have to go the full 100% you said huh, how does this noob have any chance?". Sure, you shouldn't go pulling this out of context with the kohai, sempai relationships that the dojo has.
