And by all means, anybody is welcome at these tournaments, the more the better! Meeting new people and making friends is a great part of kendo.

Damn, the girl in the penultimate photo is seriously hot!

[KevinF]

Yes, she is. My gf. :)

[rainmaker]

Yes, she is hot......




Yes, she is. My gf. :)

[Andoru]

lol someone post D'Artagnan's gf photo again. We'll do a comparison. :D

[Aru]

Now that we've all come to a concensus that Kevin's girlfriend is hot, let's get back to the topic at hand.

[rainmaker]

Aru, why do we want to move on to other topic ??? Kevin needs to post more hot gf photos...

Because this isn't the "Post a Picture of Your Hot Girlfriend" thread.

Which isn't to say, mind you, that I'd have a problem with a thread like that existing.

[rainmaker]

I hope you and Kevin don't take this personally. Because I really think Kevin's girlfriend is hot and nice. Also, if you don't want to read that thread, don't read it. Change the channel. Maybe, I should post a new thread for "Post a Picture of Your Hot Girlfirend" and see what kind of reaction do we get. I think it is fun idea.. Relax, it is all fun..

Ha ha , Aru-san, My friend !! You know that I am very jealous of someone who has girlfriend. I got none since I am married with children.. I just hope you make a new thread like that..

Wow - I'm kind of enjoying this... what was the point of this thread again? Something about pictures of the taikai - right.

Hey Ferunandez-san,

I'm sure that having a bunch of kendoka telling how hot your girlfriend is must be great for your ego. :wink:

[rainmaker]

Kevin-san,

aha, old warriors have always enjoyed three things, freedom, drink and woman.. It seems like you have at least two for what I know.

I'll be participating in the miami tournament, since it's local and all. I'll be in the 16-20 division (aka whippersnapper division) though I think I'm the only 20 year old.

[KevinF]

Indigo, good luck to you and all the competitors at the Mudansha tournament and kyuu testing this weekend. I'm sorry, I cannot go due to prior engagements, but I hope you all have a good time!

Indigo, which dojo do you practice at?

[indigo0086]

South Florida Kendo Club. The testing and seminar will be held there.

[Dimbula]

That's good for all kendoist to exercising with various grades.
