At the moment I practice without an association, which means that we do not have any exams, certificates or competitions. For me the value of regular, constant practice and teaching is enough because I can reflect in it. The honest discussion of my path only began after I switched to self-employment. This was the most difficult test that I took at Iaido and that I have to pass all the time. I thank all of my teachers and fellow practitioners for their patience up to this point.

* The term Shu-Ha-Ri stands for personal development in Budo. Shu means receiving learning, Ha means processing and existence, and Ri means one ‘s own invention, i.e. the creative examination of one’s experiences. The process can be compared to a lesson: »The apprentice started it, the journeyman can, the master invented it.«
