"Good teaching, then, is the art of recognising that every student presents a different door. Each comes with a particular body, temperament, experience, set of habits, and way of understanding what is being shown. The skill of the teacher lies not only in finding the door through which that student can enter, but also in selecting the right key to open it. It is not enough simply to reach for whatever key happened to work on the last person. In kendo, where the same instruction can liberate one student and completely bewilder another, this ability to observe, interpret, and adapt is one of the surest marks of a genuinely accomplished teacher." - Alexander Bennett
