Hi everybody.. I'm new to this board
i posted this as a reply to someone's post, but there may be other people who won't see it there... so here i go.
I'm a born and raised Etobicoke resident, and i'm looking for a good place to start training kendo. I know from my shotokan experience, that dojos can differ greatly. it seems the learning experience is affected by how many other students are there, and their ages/capability level, as well as the general atmosphere.
I went to watch a practice at olympium last week, and aside from screaming toddlers running around the racetrack, the atmosphere seemed good.
If you can without bias give me your opinion on olympium or any other place to start training, i'd really appreciate it.
Am i better off training at the japanese cultural centre.... i'm not japanese (or asian, so would they even let me? (doubt that matters)
Heard of any other good places to train in toronto/etobicoke/surrounding area?
Now that i'm done college and making some stady cash flow I need a martial art to start, to keep me busy, get me back in shape, and clear my mind.
Kendo looks like the one!
any advice would be awesome!
thanks!
