Hello all, finally decided to register here after my first lesson today at Mumeishi in west London. I've been meaning to take up kendo for the past couple of months but wanted to get my exams out of the way first (but I just spent my time lurking on these forums instead :D )
They taught us how to take the shinai apart and put it back together, then basic footwork, then chudan, then they built up to teaching suburi, which we did a lot of before the end. It got quite tiring, but I'm definately coming back next week.
Since everything I've wanted to know is covered somewhere or another in these forums I have no questions for now, and doubt I'll be able to answer any for some time, I plan on doing a lot more listening than talking for the time being.
