Yes I received sometimes tsuki when I was jumping without thinking too much. It was a bit dangerous, but helped me being less afraid. Debana techniques? I don't mind being hit by debana techniques when i'm doing keiko! I don't mind IPPON ( I do, but try not tooo much)!

There is a difference between shiai kendo and jikeiko kendo is there not?
Being hit is fine during keiko, however I feel that if you don't contemplate the reasons behind why you were hit, you waste a valueable opportunity to improve your kendo. You may be working on something completely different, and yet paying attention to the reasons why you are hit can help with increasing your effectiveness immensely. This was sort of where I was leading with my original post.
