It's just a clip from a trailer; and it looks less terrible than some other Hollywood depictions I've seen. But to each his own.

If you stuck with it for a full semester, and can't find anywhere to continue for the summer, makes sure you go back in the fall! :)

It's very exciting to get kendogi, hakama, and bogu for the first time, but I don't recommend anticipating too much. Listening to the sensei is best....

I empathize with you; I found it awkward being in sweats when everyone else wasn't, too. But you won't "master" fumikomi for years, if ever. ...

I've been on the lookout for a fat-but-not-heavy shinai; neither dobari nor koto. Any of those fit the bill?

Different series are probably from different suppliers. I have no idea how they are different.

Glad to be back! Indeed made quite a few moves. Gonna try and kick start Kendo & Iaido again. Practiced for about a year and never tested. I've got lots of catching up to do!

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 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)
