  1. Behaving Ourselves

    With lots of new members in our club in recent months, including myself, comments have been made by the senior grades regarding the lack of proper etiquette in the dojo. Everything from answering mobile phones, beginning practise before permission has been given (potentially dangerous), swigging...

  2. Sun Tzu: All warfare is based on deception.

    Do you practice deception in kendo? How? It seems to me that what we practice in kendo is not so much deception as a quality of unreadability. Perhaps with the direction and focus of our kensei, we can more blatantly deceive (fake to kote, go for men) but I don't know that this is universal;...

  3. Seme, from notes.

    This is a terrific write up on seme. (Thanks Kenshi 24/7.) Please note it is from notes: http://kenshi247.net/blog/2010/02/23/the-reality-of-seme/ A lot to think about. What do you think - the notes seem to say that seme comes, first, from spirit, center and maai. But then it is linked to a...

  4. How often?

    How many days of the week do you practice ? For me it varies from 5 per week to 7 and how do you feel it affects your kendo ?

  5. "Preaching" in the dojo?

    One aspect of kendo that I really enjoy is that before and after the actual practice, sensei will often talk to us about other things related to kendo. Some of the things he has talked to us about in the past are: the relationships between jodo, kendo, and iaido; the history of kendo; the analects...

  6. Should we pluralize Japanese words as they become part of the English language?

    Disclaimar: Slightly dorky/geeky stuff. ;) Ok: Many words that were once Japanese have actually become incorporated into the English language. (I.e. sushi, karate, etc.) I'm a bit interested in linguistics and stuff, and someone brought up the idea that words like ippon, or Sensei, for example,...

  7. Some philosophy -- Am I reading too deep?

    Newbie here to throw out a theory that's been on my mind for a while. I'd love to hear some thoughts on it. My theory started forming when I took French fencing classes in high school. I noticed that for such a simple style (you can only move two directions, and you can only attack with a...

  9. How crucial are shiai/tournament experience in grading?

    This is something I've been wondering about more and more lately, since I have my 2-dan grading coming up in August. The closest I've had to shiai experience is shiai-geiko in the dojo -- and I make a point to go against adult guests multiple times whenever they visit. But I've never been in a...
