Aurelien Nacrour has lived in the US, France, and UK, before moving to Japan. He has been holds the rank of 6-Dan in both Iaido and Jodo, 4-Dan in Kendo, and trains with Ishido Sensei in Kanagawa

In this wide-ranging conversation, we talk about adapting to new cultures, deliberate training for competition and exams, and the relationship of a student with their sensei and their own bodies to continuously improve.

I found this conversation interesting and informative for my own practice, and has given me much to think about in preparation for when large scale events in the budo community can resume.
