This makes no sense they have no technique or style their just flingy around swords like little kids ( well some of them are little kids there an exception).

They say there teaching stuff but this looks like the fencing i was doing with my brother when he was 10 and i was 7

Parents, go out for the evening, get some holiday shopping done and let us entertain your Gamer. We are hosting a long night of snacks and games! With a room dedicated to Dungeons & Dragons... and another room for teaching the game. We provide the snacks, drinks, games and plots. Your kids provide the brain power and problem solving. For ages 9+

I dont know guys... seems kinda relevant to mah intrests (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_Fe_J44Tks). (Yes I'm the narrator *cries*)

Oh wait? $30? Waver required!??? What the hell is this? LARP? (http://www.guardup.net/sword/camp_break.htm)?

Oh wait disregard that, I have no idea what the f*** is going on (http://www.guardup.net/sword/ajapanesesword.html) @_@"

I saw a short news blurb on them a few years back. It's a gimmicky fitness place through the use of foam weapons. They claim to teach serious stuff to market towards that sort of person. You don't get many students by saying "we stay fit by beating each other with foam swords." It could be a legitimate exercise type place, but I wouldn't call it a dojo type place.

If you liked that, you should check this one out, discussed here before I think anyway, the guy had some "good" things to say about kendo.

Am I the only person that thinks $150 for 8 weeks of really shitty "kendo" training is a horrible deal?
