u seem pretty experienced, would be so kind as to answer my shinai bag question in the shinai section. thanks.

Happy Birthday :-)

Yup exactly.... except need to work out blood spray lol. or better yet an Iaidoka doing iwanami!!

Actually I missed my first men during kirikaeshi lol so that may have been a part of the reason why one judge failed me. You are absolutely right about my strikes being too small and my strides too short. Definitely working on those right now especially with lengthening my stride.

Thanks!

Thank you very much and I agree that I should train extra hard for my shodan so no judge will fail me this time! (hopefully lol)

hey thanks shin. well at leats you got to second round ^_^ u sure you aren't too hard on yourself? oh well the good part is we both know what we have to work on huh? keeps us in the dojo ^_^

Hey Shin, Here is a video of my match in the Yudansha Division this sunday.

My Ai-Jodan Match against an experienced San Dan ready to test for Yon Dan quite a few people thought eventually I would get the point since I was getting 2 to three one flags (I think all the Judges raised there flags at different times--just not all together lol)

No problem feel free to post as much as you want

And I checked out the second link, nice fittings! I wish that I would be in Japan sometime soon but chances of that happening are severly slim. But I'll keep my fingers crossed!

I really like the handpainted one. Though if I was using that for a tenegui I would be afraid it would wear off. And the link of the search results didn't work.

Thanks for the links! I checked out both of those already and I'm not seeing much of what I'm looking for with them. Maybe because I'm not a big fan of yellow. :P And tigers happen to have that yellow to them...oh the irony!
