This book explores the profound connections forged in the dojo and the universal lessons learned along the way. In thirteen stories Hyun Hong Cho weaves together tales of her first experiences as the leader of Tora Dojo, and the stories of her students' journeys—their struggles, unique personalities, and individual paths in kendo. Writing this book gave her the opportunity to reflect deeply on those first years as a sensei, helping her realize how she could grow into a better teacher for all her students.From the trials of guiding misfit students to the triumphs of competition victories, Cho reveals how the art of kendo can be a bridge across cultures and a guiding force through life's challenges. Whether sharing moments of laughter, grappling with self-doubt, or uncovering hidden strengths, this book is a heartfelt celebration of growth, community, and human spirit. Cho came to understand that being a great teacher isn’tabout obsessing over being the best, nor is it about insisting too much on her own values and beliefs, shaped by Korean and Japanese culture, when teaching Western students.Young Sensei's Lessons is perfect for readers seeking inspiration, humor, and a unique perspective into the philosophy of kendo and martial arts.
