I pay ~ 2200 yen for a 4 Mbps internet . <| sep |> Can I ask what is your personal attitude towards grading ? And has it changed at different grades ? I ' ve always approached grading not as a test , but as a show your genuinereal kendo type of thing . I don ' t believe in trying to cram and practise for grading because to me that feels dishonest . I believe in letting anyone judge my kendo at any time . There is a philosophy I took from my previous career in dancing dance to express , not to impress . This I carry into kendo and I truly believe in it . However , most people do worry about grading , I mean of course everyone wants to pass , but I guess I want to know your thought process . How important is 7 dan for you ? Is it important to always look towards grading testing yourself ? , or do you think self improvement is separate from grading ? Do you think this approach is true for the lower grades ? Thank you for your time .
