Takanabe Susumu, who has continued to be at the forefront of the All Japan Kendo Championship and the World Kendo Championships achieved success in his first attempt at the 8th Dan examination held in Nagoya in August of this year.
In the past few years of training, his focus has been on “winning before striking” in Kendo rather than “striking to win.” He has honed his Shikake-waza within this philosophy.
