Yes every sports have a certain amount of risk, but kendo seemingly has a higher risk due to it having more blows to the head than say golf. I guess the next time somebody leads with their head...

Fortunately at the place I practice, there is a bonafide doctor practicing as well. There used to be 2 until just recently.



Actually, now that you mention it, the wife of a current...

Thanks for the info. Just based from the info i'm looking at (yours and reading the Mayo clinic info), they do seem to be minor to moderate concussions. I do understand that most incidents are from...

I do say that I have been woozy/dizzy mostly after the incident occurs, but worst case, i've woken up the next morning with a headache. This has happened on multiple occasions.

Hi all,

Haven't posted here in a while, but given the discussions about concussions that have been surfacing in American Football recently, I had a worry or concern and maybe a question.

I...

Well, some thoughts since I haven't posted here in a while and happened to catch the ZNKR vids on youtube (though they looked like they were captured with a potato).

-With what we are always...

In short, a burglar at Johns Hopkins gets killed by a katana.

The reason why i practice is to enjoy my hobby. I get to have fun with some awesome people at Venice, get some exercise and release some stress from work (and lately it has all been from work). I...

Interesting story I have about this...

While I was practicing up in sacramento when I was still in college, I had somebody almost call the cops on me. I wasn't doing suburi outside or anything. ...

Although this is great encouragement on your part, JBryd really has to listen to his body. I have a dentist who used to practice kendo and one day, this huge guy just stomped on his foot crushing...

At some points in my practices, i just heard ringing. hehehehe

chambara... If he defines the points as such, all we have to do is to touch with the shinai and fumikomi, and kiai.

Then you get into arguments of "the shinai didn't even touch me". When its a...

Kendo to me was a way to better yourself mentally and physcially to make a long story short. The olympics talk a great deal about comraderie and the "spirit of the games" but then, when you hear the...

Black sheep do get banned, but if taekwondo was supposed to be looked at as a martial art, rather than a sport like basketball, football, or baseball, then that image took a real hit with that one...

No I'm not an apple geek. Steve Jobs talked at MY Graduation Ceremony at Stanford. I thought it was a cool quote so I put it in the sig. :ermm:

Sorry, but i'm not about to spend 20-30mins of time flipping through KW through posts or filtering searches trying to find specific threads since the ones I remember are buried somewhere in the KW...

I know this has been discussed a MILLION times before with threads and threads of arguments for and against but this can be a reason of why kendo should not be in the olympics. I know this is...

I did go to a tournament on fathers day in mililani a couple of years back and it was awesome. They do make 3dans shimpan (i guess they are usually short?) which immediately sent a shiver down my...

I feel like a vegetable right now since i didn't get my morning coffee so I'd qualify as a plant. I don't know about you though. I guess since you are typing on the forums, i'd say animal. :ko:

Yes, along with banning certain animals and plants going to and coming from outside countries and the mainland as well. :ermm:

Uhhh.... I thought Hawaii's Federation was an entity unto itself. It IS a Federation in the United States, but it's not a US Federation. In order to join their federation, you'd have to move...

i personally don't like to get into politics of a martial art I am taking for recreation and in addition, I'd fall asleep during the meetings to be honest if i were there. But then again, i get...

Wha... When did this happen... Gawd.. First reg cards and now this? Yeesh... All I want to do is have fun and pracitice if I even go...

Didn't get a chance to edit before the admin locked the post, but the malleability of the tendon is where its strength comes from and why it should be stretched in the first place. However, if you...

I had my achilles go about 5 years ago and it was really due more to overuse and not listening to my body rather than using preventative measures such as stretching and the like. Not saying that you...
