Let's hope that there is only one! Everyone's out to make a quick buck these days. Here is a quote from the website:

"Rick Short is a 5th degree blackbelt and personal fitness trainer. He has studied several arts in his 21 years of training including Tae Kwon Do, Aikido, Ju Jitsu, Jeet Kune Do, and Russian styles."

Does anyone see any sword artform rankings? What is he a 5th degree in? Umm, well sign me up for one of those $14.95 foam bokkens. Why the dragon handle? The hakama pants seem a bit strange to me too....

Thanks DCPan, I needed a good laugh today. Hey, didn't I practice with you before? I was near St. Louis for a while and then in Seattle last year. Do you have a shiny blue dou?

You would be surprised of how many "people" would be willing to buy this type of goofy thing.

Umm, where are you in Hokkaido?

Well, in that case why are they selling the hakama? Surely it's not needed for a good workout!

I can see it now, hundreds of kids around the world jumping around in the air with their foam bokkens wearing a goofy hakama.... truly a step forwad for the further integration of sword martial arts into the Western cultures of the world.

I know what I am getting Hai_hai for Christmas!!!!

Q: What else can I use if I’m not comfortable with the wooden or foam sword?

A: You can use things such as a broomstick or a small hand held weight.

I held off. I knew it was going to be bad so I resisted the urge to take a peek.
Then curiosity got the better of me. This is one of the most stupid things I have ever seen.

The caption reads,

Can't wait to see the PGA tour even where Sheila jumps out and sends Tiger Woods flying through the air.

It's amazing. Don't you see? It's beautifull. The capacity of the human imagination when it comes to make a buck. Now that's art man, art.
Why didn't I think of it, first?

I'm... I'm... no words.

Nope, my doh isn't blue...it is the standard black.

I was in St. Louis from 1996 to 1999. There wasn't a kendo place there then.

I did cross the state borders to practice once at a kick-boxing dojo where the instructor was a military person.

Besides that, I introduced some basic kendo stuff to a guy at the volleyball courts of WUSTL and somewhere in Forest Park....

Not knowing who you are, I can't be sure....

Shouldn't that be called "Ki golf" and not "Kiai golf"? If you want to use your body and mind, that is ki right? I think that kiai golf would be more like a golfer lining up for a drive or a putt and then screaming like a crazyman AAAAAAAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhh.... when hitting the ball. That would eliminate the need to yell "FOUR" if you are about to hit someone, because using kiai golf, everyone on the golf course will turn your direction, and say "WHAT is wrong with that guy?"

And just for $40, Kiai Golf katas video can be shipped to your door. Umm, what a deal!

Where do you find this stuff?

Masahiro-san, it is a kind of a sad joke. It is very common here in the West to take something respected by many people, pervert for money-making purposes and then try to keep a straight face when you sell it to people. I am sure that this guy is laughing at himself too, but when the money roles in, he will have the last laugh. You would be surprised of how many "people" would be willing to buy this type of goofy thing.

Umm, where are you in Hokkaido?
sorry for the late reply, I don't really come on every day thoughI do my best to come on when I have time. I was actually born in a little village in the Hokkaido area. Since then I have moved to many places, I am currently in Pittsburgh, PA. If there are any other questions you have with regards to this topic, please don't hesitate to e-mail me.
