    Passing Japan's Harest Test

    I don't know if this has been posted before, but it's a great documentary.

    From the video description:

    A fascinating look into the mental predisposition of the highest ranked kendo practitioners.

    Harder than becoming a lawyer or a surgeon in Japan is becoming a 8th dan Kendo Swordsman. This docu chronicles two2 men and their attempt to reach that peak - one is a former National Kendo Champion who has failed the very 1st step of the test 4 times. The other is a 78 year old man who has been taking the test for 24 years.
