Kendo sucks

[Yowai]

all my free time! Preperations include fifteen minutes to dress and undress and a hour to drive to and from the dojo. Keiko is two hours. After I am all finished, most of my evening is gone.

*cough* troll *cough*

Then don't do it.

[gszab]

You are right! Kendo sucks! :silly:

[kosir]

So, the SITUATION sucks, not the Kendo itself. Are you forced to take the practice? I could relate to that, if i was forced to train the art, that i was not interest in.

But since we only have two trainings in a week, that's far not enough. And it leaves TOO MUCH of the free time for me. I would train every spare minute, but that's just me. :cheeky:

Hopefully, you will be able to arrange your time, so it won't effect all of your free time and that you will find the balance, so the Kendo won't loose it's appeal, that it had, when you started trainings it.

You are right, Kendo sucks (arcording to my wife). She complains for not be able to go shopping on Saturday anymore. :tongue:

what else do you want to do then? If you want to practice Kendo, your not really wasting your free time as it was a choice you have made to use your free time...

[D'Artagnan]

You people are impervious to humour. I can't believe there are people that did not understand the relation between the subject and the message body.

Yowai, you have to remember that there are many different levels of English ability on this forum, so not everyone will get your humor. Plus, even some native English speakers wonder what your level of English is and did you mean to say what it seems you wrote.
Sorry to say you need to be more obvious less subtle if you want everyone to get the joke.

your not very funny by the way

Subtlety is a major component of humour.

I think what kendomushi is trying to say is that your joke is too subtle. It is not that the people of this forum are too stupid to understand your joke, but that your joke is simply not funny. It comes across that you are bad-mouthing kendo, and that is bound to get nothing but negative responses on a kendo forum.

Your not funny your just a dumb ass. People come to this forum to discuss kendo or to ask questions if you have know questions and nothing to discuss then there is no reason for you to make posts.

Shigo no sekai no hanashi nandesukedosaa... Anoyou...

Now I regret that I didn't capitalize the first letter of the first post.

[Miravil]

If I would have online earlier, I would have done the same as other kendoka did.... ask you why are you still learning kendo?

There are some kendoka that I know who even take the effort to travel almost 2 hours to the dojo for kendo practice.

[Nishi]

Kendo is great....its me who sucks!

Hello,

Or to put it simply, before engaging in any attempt at entertaining or even informing, consider and know who your audience is. Then cater to them, not to yourself.

I don't suck, the way I do Kendo sucks..

Center.

[KATSUJIN]

i agree with Nishi.... i suck but kendo is great.... :D

[Wark 1978]

i agree with Nishi.... i suck but kendo is great.... :D
i agree with both of you. the way i do kendo often sucks but i'm always gutted when the lesson ends and i have to go home. what sucks even more is counting down the days till the next practice and not being able to practice as often as i'd like.

Humor is also a major component, no?

Now that is funny. :D O.k. I think I have exceeded my limit of posts on this stupid thread. Last one, I swear.

[swrdply400mrela]

There was no subtlety in that.


:D

Me too.... :(

Sure but so is timing and more importantly, knowing your audience :P

Timing? Of humour? Honestly, who was too stupid to not recognize the humour in the original statement? You suck. Suck on a lightbulb for enlightenment.


:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[Hiryu]

I'm more surprised at some of the reply posts than I am the original post.

"Kendo sucks..all my free time." Took me a while.
I could tell by the msg content that you were not bashing kendo, but others want everything to be "Obvious". Usually they are the ones that get pissed if you don't break down a waza into nice little "do this's and do that's".
If you didn't get the humor, was it mature to attack the poster, or should you have tried a bit more to get the joke? I guess it's easier for some to lash out.
Those are the kind of people I would expect to just keep thrusting mune tsuki while their opponent is executing a nice subltle men.

Come on people, while the joke may not have been very obvious, some of your responses were quite immature to say the least. Can we not expect some amount of decorum here.

[Rawoo]

In short Kendo doesnt suck, u suck

I have a feeling that u are not getting a lot out of ur training sessions

I know everytime I finish a training session
When I get out of the dojo, I have a lot of think about,
a lot of happiness(good things I did),
a lot of sadness (bad things I did),
give thoughts to advises from sensei,
and etc etc

:silly:

[qstel]

Kendo also sucks my free time. I have to drive for 1 hour to get to the dojo and I try to be at least 40 minutes before practise starts so that i can dress at my leisure ,warmup or just talk to the other kendoka. Before i got my drivers licence i would travel for one and a half to two hours to get to my dojo using public transportation (busses the subway, taxis) carying my shinai case and sometimes my bogu as well.
And that was hell , but when we would start pracise *sigh* i'd be in heaven :D
