A question to those kendoka in the UK who are grading for shodan at Mumeishi in October.

Has anyone received the written question yet?

I am supposed to be grading then and not yet received the question. If it is possible, can someone tell me what I have to write about?

Thanks.

If they saw me at the moment they would probably take them all back off me :-D

If I remember rightly from what I have been told (My questions where not for Shodan) Name and draw the parts of a Shinai, explain Issoku Itto No Maai. Rei and Kata number three.

I did but :cry: :cry: here they are again. :D :D :D

Don't know the correct order.

Name and Draw the parts of a Shinai
Explain Issoku Itto No Maai
Explain Rei
Explain Sanbon-me

Still probably best to have a word with Keith D though.

What you not going to the Open ???

Can't make it to the 3's this year as I have a Jodo Taikai about at week or so before so I'm guessing I wil be strapped for cash. You entering the Lidstone the day before your grading ????

Hi I m getting my nidan after the Lidstone, possibly fighting against Andy Fisher :D!!

Autumn is a busy season... I got Iaido Taikai this weekend, Open the next... Squad training 2 weeks after, Lidstone/Nidan Shinsa... then M3... Maybe I should squeeze in a shinsa for Iaido somewhere in between...

Probably the period when the BKA get some cash... :D
