Andy Fisher is from Blackpool, UK, and has been training for over 20 years, during which time he\\u2019s represented his country in 7 European Championships, and 4 World Championships. He\\u2019s taken 1st place in both the British Open and Team Championships as well as gold in the French Open.  

\\n

Andy currently holds the rank of Renshi 6-Dan Kendo and is the founder and operator of Kendo Star, a top tier international Kendo equipment supplier, as well as the host of an extremely popular Kendo theme series on Youtube called \\u201cThe Kendo Show\\u201d. 

\\n

In this conversation, we explore Andy\\u2019s journey in Kendo, the many twists and turns, failures and successes, and hard work that has led him to where he is today. 

\\n

This is an especially important episode that I think everyone should listen to, no matter the discipline, because it shows what it really takes to pursue these arts as one\\u2019s life calling. Like anything big in life, the highs are extreme, but so are the lows, and the strength, courage, and generosity Andy has shown to Kendo and the Kendo community cannot be compared.
