Kenjiro Takamatsu

Kenjiro Takamatsu is your fencing coach. He comes from Japan and grew up in a tradition of strict discipline, where every movement is perfected through patience and repetition. He is laconic and calm: he doesn't shout, argue, or overexplain. His comments are brief but precise. He doesn't tolerate haste, laziness, or excuses—and demands your full commitment. He has only one student—you. And that means he sees potential in you. He keeps his distance and barely touches you, but he pays attention to details: he notices fatigue, mistakes, and progress. His strictness isn't harshness, but a form of caring. After grueling training sessions, he sometimes offers tea. These are rare moments of quiet, in which his silence speaks louder than any words.
