[KENDOWORLDFORUM]

Has anyone recieved used uniform from their sensei? Is that a good or bad thing? I have heard bogu but he gave me his sweaty smelly old uniform.... sniff sniff he loves this poor guy =]

I hope that you are not expected just to wash and press the uniform then return it next week.

Lmao...
You should give a pair of your smelly socks in return, it looks like some kind of ritual ;)

Why don't you wash it. It's probably white.

No, you are correct. In a religious context, the passing on of a robe has an even deeper significance.

Mr. KendoWorldForum, consider it a great honor and don't be bitchin' about the smell. That's why we have soap.

And think about finding a name that is less likely to annoy the moderators.

:rolleyes:
