some realizations

My sensei says that in everyone, kendo is supposed to be the same, but after a while I realized that everyone has a different style of kendo, and it totally depends on what kind of personality they have.

Harding sensei is quite honest and straight to the point. His style of kendo doesn't have much of trikery, just always going straight, do waza according to the reaction he got from his opponent: if opponent is too strong in center, he go kote, if his opponent is off center he go for men as fast as possible.

Kagami sensei's kendo is more trickery. he likes to flung his shinai in random motion, tricking his opponent into either defending or attacking, while his real trick is that he is moving forward slightly that you're distracted from seeing that he is because his shinai doesn't look like it is moving. he also likes to focus a lot on the center fighting with shinai tip, pushing or letting go slightly on such random motion that you can't predict what he is doing.

DK is the middle between the two senseis. He uses trickery, always doing a circular motion that distracts his opponent, yet his distraction isn't exactly just doing random thing, at different position of the circle, it is faster to do different waza, at lower end, he does nuki-do's or other nu-ki waza, at top he goes for iyu men and other faster and straight through waza. he circulates his shinai pretty fast so his opponent cannot predict the cycle easily.

I wonder what others think of my kendo, what personality I have from just seeing what i do.
