: Sometimes I wonder how much pain I'd feel if no one told me something was supposed to hurt.
I guess you know you're doing the right thing when...
Master: How's your shoulder?
Me: My shoulder?
Master: yeah. You got hit pretty hard with a thrust.
Me: I did?
Master: Yeah. Doesn't it hurt?
Me: No.
Master: ... it will.
By the time we took off our Kendo armor, sure enough, my arm hurt. I pulled up my sleeve, to reveal a nasty scrape about an inch and a half long.
I turned to my last opponent.
Me: This was from you?
Him: Yeah. It just missed the do. I thought I got you pretty hard, but you were really quiet...
Me: I never even noticed it...
In the end, my master said that's a good thing. It means I was completely focused in the fight and on what I was doing. That I took a powerful hit, didn't even notice it, and continued with an attack of my own.
He also said I need to work on my slipping, but that's another story.
