    Well, just like riding a bike, you never completely forget and your body will remember. Hopefully you'll be able to find a dojo within a reasonable distance from you. Definitely glad you're back though, I think the guys have been getting a little soft in the threads lately!

    Hey there, thanks for the rep, young miss. Not entirely sure how thankful I should be, considering you gave them to me for my talents of being insulting =P. I'm new though, I'll take what I can get, heh.

    No prob kiddo! Keep up the good work! Me, I`m kinda in a delima of what to do. I have a bunch of choices for Kenjutsu and Iaido, ie Shinkage ryu, MJER, a diff dojo branch for MSR in addition to my reg dojo etc. Only prob is which one do I want lol and works with my time and schedule!

    Not to keep flooding your visitor messages but I tried one of those links again and I think this time it should work.

    On a side note, and continuing with the tiger themed items, if you can make it to Japan and get your hands on a Noshyudo iaito, they've got some classy tiger themed fittings you might enjoy.

    Did a little searching by typing in Japanese and found this, this, this if you're willing to spend a lot of money for a hand painted one, this, this one if you don't mind a dragon too, and this is a list of tiger related results from the first shop. Stopped there after I got too distracted by all the other things that I suddenly want!
