Hello Gibbo Sensei,

What if you take a 17-year-old high school student into the same situation as Amir Kahn, but in the context of kendo. I'm pretty sure if anyone getting 2nd at the AJKC at 17 will be invited into Keishicho straight away - and get paid for it.

Those kendoka at the police still gets paid for what they do (since they are highly capable and no one does it better). Dedication or not, I don't see that too much of a difference in Amir Kahn's case. Nothing wrong doing what your talent lies..
The difference there is that the 17 year old will still have to do his police training, and should a particular situation require it, police duties, which while although Japan isn't the most dangerous country in the world, can still be dangerous depending on what unit he is in.

Amir Kahn will also get paid to fight, and won't halve his purse for not going to school or what ever, and boxing will pay mega bucks for everything he wants to do,while the police still lose half their pay for taking these sabitcals. And also the amounts of pay differ fantastically as well.
