Progress in kendo isn’t just technical—it’s mental too. Coaches will get tools to build focused, confident students. Practitioners will gain the mindset to turn effort into real progress.

Picture This:

You’re on the edge of the shiai-jo. Your footwork, strikes, and timing are dialed in. But then—nerves.

Your grip tightens. Your breathing shortens. You freeze or rush. And just like that, everything you trained for slips through your fingers.

Sound familiar?

Even elite kenshi struggle with nerves. The difference? They train their mind as deliberately as they train their technique.

That’s what this course is for.

What You'll Learn

✅ Techniques to stay calm and composed under pressure

✅ Focus strategies to spot and seize opportunities mid-match

✅ Visualisation tools to mentally prepare for gradings and shiai

✅ Recovery strategies to bounce back from mistakes and setbacks

✅ Mental frameworks to help your students train with purpose and confidence

This isn’t about hype or hollow motivation. It’s a structured, research-backed approach to developing mental skills that transfer directly to the dojo floor.

An excellent resource, especially for those of us who are not terribly familiar with sports psychology. I purchased Kendo Coach to aid my goal in preparing for my yondan exam, and it has been a tremendous help in systematizing my mental approach to my kendo.
