10 years to shodan sounds like sandbagging at an institutional level. What the fuck.

I think that's an unfair accusation to make since we really have no idea what Yorick's ability is or even what is normal for shodans in his region. Yorick also didn't mention how often he trains, and that's a critical factor here.

Yorick, you mentioned that you recently feel more interested in competing. I think this might become good motivation to make you want to practice more. Personally, I always hated jigeiko. I'm bad at it, I don't understand what I'm doing and never win. I've been doing kendo for a little over 3 years now and only lately however, some ideas are starting to make sense to me. It makes me more eager to try jigeiko in our practices and to compete in tournaments.
