Wise decision on your part my friend. Not many men would last long with me in any type of challenge match.
I studied Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for many years (3 days a week), then I dabbled in a Kendo Class once a week before one of my BJJ classes (for about a year). I found the combination very satisfying, but I stopped Kendo and continued my BJJ training for another few years. I was not serious about my Kendo.
I think I craved Kendo for the intensity of the Practice. Even though my BJJ instructor held the most intense BJJ Training I have ever experienced, I still craved the full force Kendo focus.
I eventually went back to Kendo and seriously studied for 2 years without BJJ (yet BJJ has always been my first love, and I have since returned).
Through the years, the combination has added a new focus to my BJJ (something that commonly lacks in the art).
I still believe that people are best studying one Martial Art for as long as they possibly can. Practice gets boring and difficult, and it is very easy to run out and join a new club with new moves and a new focus. I think overall the combination has been good to my practice, but I don't like that I left BJJ for so long to pursue other "interests".
Don't expect to get very far or do very well in Kendo unless you give it 100 percent of your attention. It is too difficult and you must stay focused all the time. You cannot be a part-time Kendo Student, or practice once a week. Kendo is a commitment, you should either do it or don't.
Good luck with your training my friend.Comment
