Usually I leave this kind of thing alone. But lately, it seems like everyone is falling over themselves to jump on anybody whose posts feel the slightest bit misguided. I don't think we need to be all soft and fuzzy here, but at the same time I'd prefer to see people give helpful information and...
Hi everyone, I am putting up a poll on the use of colored text in response to a bit of a discussion on it in the "Behaving ourselves" thread. After you take the poll, please post what you chose and explain why. We already know people feel it is impolite and annoying, but those really are...
"Nine Months...." Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob. So they loaded up Jack's minivan and headed north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. So they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered he door if they could...
This may well have been posted before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yviAqiWESHY I like the comments in the "info" bit!! OMG!! I just worry that this is what Joe Public will think this is iaido?! I also worry friends/relatives think this is what I do!!
Just a bit of fatherly jiman, my son's kendo team had their first tournament of the year last weekend, and my son came home with the best record in the dojo, and although he didn't lose a single match they were knocked out by another team. Here is the video: ...
No, not talking about the gi... I kinda/sorta recall someone, somewhere, sometime referring to kendo in Japan as being more of a blue collar activity. Anybody ever hear of that, write that, think that, etc., and would be willing to explain? -Charles
I am new to the art/sport of kendo. I have been in class for around 2 months now and last night I was talking to one of our sensei's about Budo. He really shocked me when he told me that "before his time" in the very old school kendo matches, the match was not over until the loser had been taken...
I first fell in love with the manga series when they started serializing it in Yen Plus. When I found the anime on Hulu.com, I watched it. Then I went and watched other stuff, and now I'm back, watching Bamboo Blade again. So I'm curious... how many of you are also Bamboo Blade fans?
I felt this thread was missing. System Of a Down - Soldier Side II ...what a song, I love it.
besides bamboo blade , yawara, kasumi todo from king of fighters and of course dead or alives characters hitomi, ayame, , kasumi and Motoko Aoyama from love hina, does anyone know some martial artist girls real or fictional ?
According to a message posted on the Iaido List, Haga sensei, (kendo and Iaido Hanshi 8 dan) passed away on 7th March 2010. He visited Australia many times over the years, and despite his diminutive stature, was impossible to reach in keiko. Another link with the past has been lost. For those...

I'm off to Nihon on the 17th March for a couple of weeks and I'm peeing myself in excitement! I've spent 6 months in private language lessons to make things a bit easier while I'm over there but I'm sure there are many things that seasoned visitors know that could help me further. So, I know...
Wondering if there are some teams pre-existing. Or any teams willing to form?
Does anyone have any information about a college league being formed? Sort of like the NCAA in the U.S.? It would really do a lot for Kendo if we could make it happen. What do you think?
just curious.
So…I was in a shop with some of my friends and we were trying some clothes….you know the usual girls shopping…and I saw a shirt that locked really nice…my favorite color, reasonable price and I tried it in order to buy. You know what I’ve noticed …it didn’t fit. Why…because my arms got a little...
A question for our friends on old Blighty: exactly who pissed in your journalists cornflakes? Seems like they're on a single-minded mission to trash the 2010 Olympics. Is this the British tradition - find every possible bad thing about something wonderful, and harp on it endlessly? Are your...
To create progress of such a league, I would like to atleast have a list of available kendo organizations/teams and/or starting groups that would be able to participate. If so, I would like to have something of a meeting to get the motions of starting such an event, up int he air, sort to speak. I...

So I had my last class at my dojo in Massachusetts last night; move to California tomorrow. Really appreciated everyone there, particularly my sensei, and had a fun sushi + sake party afterwards. Sad to leave but grateful for the last couple years. Btw, I stuck my shinai in my golf bag, I'm...
