ある人にとっては，ある師の技術や考えが正しく，別の人にとっては別の師のそれが正しい。その意味で世の中には「本物」と評される武道家が星の数ほどいる。ただ，客観的な基準として有名かどうかは，「本物」かどうかの判断材料には一切ならない。重要なのは，この人は「本物」だと，自分自身が心底から思える武道家に巡り会うことである。もちろんその判断は自身の修行の程度に依存するるものの，「本物」かどうかの究極的な基準はおそらく，主観的な体感だろう。武道は身体技芸であるからこそ，「本物」かどうかの理解は，理屈ではなく身体感覚に基づいていると考えられる。ただし，その体感の理解は，主観的な枠組みや基準に依存している。修行段階によって，得られる体感は異なる。結局のところ，ある武道家を本物と判断するかどうかは，徹底的に修行者個人の主観であるといえる。
A master's techniques and thoughts are right for some people, while another master's ones for other people. In that sense, there are thousands of martial artists described as "genuine" in the world. But, whether a master is famous or not is never information as a subjective criterion to decide whether he/she is "genuine" or not. The important thing is that people meet a martial artist who they themselves can regard as "genuine" from the bottom of their heart. Though the decision naturally depends on the level of their own mastering, the ultimate scale to decide whether a master is "genuine" or not may probably be a subjective sense of body. Comprehension of the genuineness is considered to be based on not a logical theory but a sense of body, just because marital arts are body crafts. However, understanding that sense of body depends on a subjective framework or standard. Felt sense of body varies according to the stage of mastering. As it turned out, it is said that deciding whether a martial artist is genuine or not is thoroughly the person's own subjective judgement.
