Ah, the good old days... Didactics has really gone downhill. :)
I didnt say he didnt deserve some shit from the fan, but I never enjoyed the long queue of selfrighteous floggers that line up, as...
An apology never the less. No real reason to keep rubbing the nose of this 21 year old kendo shodan in his own poop, no matter how foul you think the smell is. :gasmask:
If the rasping is too unbearable, perhaps people will be quicker to buy a decent iaito. For a semester or two, a plastic saya works well.
I am in the middle of a crash now. Havent done iai for two months, after doing 6 hours a week for 15 years. Today i received a new iaito from Seki city, after selling my previous to a beginner I have...
oh no, no more creativity from the dutch demon! Pleeasse ;) We are having him to Oslo for a seminar in a couple a weeks, look really forward to another weekend of deconstruction of technique,...
Actually, she is 8 this year. So much for the attentive dad. Sob. Why I am typing this in the middle of the night. Se "fuss". :(
I will take a two months break from iai-instruction, to settle...
Is there a Brighton seminar as well this year? Hmm, what date is it? Actually, my daughter is celebrating her 7th birthday on the first day of the eindhoven seminar, so there would be less domestic...
Welcome to the haze.
I try to fit Eindhoven into my sommer schedule this years, too bad they didnt use Amsterdam again, been there several times for iai, and i like it a lot. Went to Sittard...
Oh I have seen some fridges, but the worst I have seen was actually some smurfs from the bka kendo team on their way back from kendo wcc kyoto in 1997. Me and my girlfriend were asked to support some...
I agree, just some small blokes farting in a tub, and a wicked wendy taking some recreational dives. :D
Being a father of one, I say its a rather expensive and time consuming solution to bring up a daughter, buy her a wetsuit, wait for her to grow out of it, and then chop off the legs for iai-adaption....
Joke aside, most "white folks" use their white gear mostly for jodo, very few do iai, and in the later years, it seem like the dresscode have become gradually more strict. 80 percent are all black,...

Judging from all the english people I have seen on the internationa...
Pissing on the chips.. Now I get the reason why your chips taste like they do when served to norwegian tourists. I guessed it was vinegar, but hey. I guess its the cowardish way of paying back, after...
Some people use go directly from puberty to dementia, without the usual section of reason and sense that most people have in between. If you got these genetic dead ends into your dojo, it shouldnt be...
Sorry about the compliment, miztah hamilton. I have been feeling well lately.
I am back to normal now, so cherish the moment.
BTW
Is this an international forum for meaningful discussions of...
Your insults are reaching higher levels of refinement every day. :D
"Insecure" not "unsecure" ;)
Yes. And I think personally that it is of little of any use to teach to mudansha. If chewing on seitei or omori exclusively for a couple of years is boring, you;
A. Are not fit for the nature of...
There you got one from me, crusader. Merry xmas
:cool2:
Another malapropos: In english and norwegian(my mother tongue) you "hit the wall", when you reach a dead end/run out of options. When danish people(God bless our drunken neighbours) "Hit the wall",...
carpe steering wheel
Ok, I back down. I do not risk ruining any of my small fluffy pink handbags on that skull of yours. I realize that the middle of the road metaphor was lousy, but centric...
Oh you hairsplitting hardhead, may your shinken rust, saya split, kneepads slide and obiknot loosen at every practise in the year to come :evil:
:tongue:
Carpe tsuka :D
The question was about grading. Sure, that is the perfect moment to experiment with kata, and choose an okuden kata, or perhaps a kata from another school?? Was that what you did...
