I have been teaching Iaido for quite a few years now, although Musokan only started about a year ago.
In the beginning, it was more of a sharing of skills and techniques. More and more, I am forgetting what I am supposed to be: a teacher.
My teacher, on the other hand, hasn’t and is exceptionally strict. His standard for me is set much higher than when I was just a student. Rightfully so.
As I upload more videos onto various social media as a form of promotion for my school, I am not just being seen, I am also being judged. People see what I do as a reflection on what I have been taught and who has taught me.

While I am still confident in my own technique, I must remember not to bring shame to the one who has taught me.
