The 66th All Japan Kendo Championship was held on November 3, 2018. We had the opportunity to interview the participating athletes after their matches. While we usually only learn from the athletes' matches, we thought there might be something to be learned from the post-match interviews.
I would like to thank all the players who cooperated with us. I interviewed them after their defeat was confirmed, and seeing how sincerely they answered the interview questions made me realize that they were also top-notch people.
We asked the following questions to almost all of the players! Please take a look!
—————————————
Question 1: Preparation for the main event
Question 2: Thoughts after the main event
Question 3: Preparing for next year
