Hmmm... methinks Wutian and Dragonsvirtue are the same person, both of whom are too much concerned about what others think of them...

Apart from that, welcome to kendo and to KWF. Don't worry, everone cops a little shit here from time to time.

wutian, apologies for not having weighed in on this earlier, I spent all weekend at a gathering of my country's hole-in-the-wall-TAE-KWAN-DO-dojos-that-happen-to-teach-kendo.
I have a feeling that you are either a) trolling - in which case I advise gettingabout ten years more experience on usenet, because your technique is inept,
b) in need of several chill-pills.
Just train hard and let the spriitual side of things take care of itself. I think it's presumptuous to spout off as though you are thoroughly versed in this sort of stuff and if anything shows your lack of understanding.
The people I consider to be best versed in this sort of thing rarely speak of it in favour of advocating physical training. I'm sure it's fine to have spiritual enlightenment as a goal in kendo, but I think that maybe I grasp enough of that stuff (read almost nothing) to know that it's not something that you discover in an epiphanous (sp?) vision after a couple of months of training.
Chill out, by all means have an opinion, but some humility wouldn't go astray either.
