#056 Claudio Zanoni (Iaido) - Italy

from Tokushikai Inside Look · host Patrick Suen

Claudio Zanoni is from Turin, Italy, and has been training for over 23 years, during which time he’s placed first as an individual and in team an incredible 15 times in both the Italian National Championships and the European Championships, winning both tournaments last year in the 6-Dan category.   Zanoni Sensei now holds the rank of Renshi 7-Dan in Iaido and 3-Dan Jodo, and was recently appointed Technical Director for Development of the Italian National Team.   In this wide-ranging conversation, we talk about how competition can change your mindset towards practice, we talk about the importance of mentors and peers that motivate and inspire, and discuss what it takes to persevere in budo over the long run.   I was a little nervous preparing for this conversation with Zanoni Sensei, as I’ve only his reputation for success to go on, but his sincere and humble tone quickly put me at ease. Even with over two decades into the art, his passion and commitment to Iaido and the community feels fresh and uplifting. A true inspiration.   Like this content and want to help?  Subscribe to the channel, like this video, follow us on Facebook and Instagram @tokushikai.canada This episode is also available at the following platforms ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/tokushikaicanada Anchor: https://anchor.fm/tokushikai-canada Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/tokushikai-inside-look/id1523336799 Google Podcasts: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8yMzk0OWVhNC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw== Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Mf1mrLTfVT3Sbu8XM032m Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1523336799/tokushikai-inside-look Breaker: https://www.breaker.audio/tokushikai-inside-look Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/i9qbnxx7 Radio Public: https://radiopublic.com/tokushikai-inside-look-We0ozJ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Capital Ideas Podcast Capital Group Want to learn how professional investors do it?
