Please have all my positive rep...ah damn I can't give you anymore!

rainmaker dude! Glad to hear from you mate! Wow - you have certainly been through alot! I sympathise with your situation, but also inspired by your story! How are you these days?

It's a brand new size 2, and apparently that's a tad too small for me. Shipping it back to the US (from Australia) for an exchange is going to cost a lot of money. Therefore, and due to the shipping...

It's time to bump up this thread! I hope you have had a good Christmas!

It took at least 6 months to get things ready before I was able to get back into kendo, but I finally stepped back into the...

Totally agree. When in doubt, seme and JUST HIT IT!

Quick update on my situation: Lisa and Gavin did get in touch with me, and I was able to communicate with them both via their email addresses. I was extremely relieved to hear from them, and to have...

Good idea why didn't I think of this?! *smacks forehead*

Thanks Neil for the clarification.

Well it's been 5 days since I last wrote to them via the Miyako website (this is on top of the email I wrote 16 days ago) and I haven't heard from them yet. If I...

Wow I admire your perseverance Tort-speed!

My return to kendo was going alright but don't have a bogu at the moment. 80% of my injuries have healed thanks to physiotherapy, and I'm working at...

Thanks for that. I'm not sure if Miyako is a branch of Tozando though I'm aware there's definitely a working or professional relationship between them. I'll wait a few more days for Miyako to get...

Guys I'm quite concerned. Everything was excellent when dealing with Andy. After the switch I found Miyako difficult to communicate with. There's no email listed on the website, and they don't seem...

Part 2

Having made that decision to return to kendo, there are two things I'll have to take care of before I could fully participate in keiko.

The first is to get my chronic injuries sorted...

Wow! I'm really honoured to read about your own experiences. It seems that quite of you have your own challenges too - I'm inspired by your journey in overcoming them and getting back to training....

Hello everyone, and long time no see. I've been away from KWF for a while because, for the past 3 or so years, I have not been practising kendo.

Why did I stop? There wasn't a particular event per...

Is it me or are the men semis and final really ugly to watch?

Go go Aussies!! All Aussie men out of the pools w00t!

Thought I should report back to say that I think it's working! :D I have been eating loads of pizzas and now the doh fits again! Yay!

All the best!!

I jigeikoed with Vivian a few days ago and she has improved heaps so I reckon she's going to win the womens! *thumbsup*

Ka-bi Smith is from NSW and UNSW. Confused much lol.

Cheers everyone for the tips and thanks Richard for being the only one encouraging me to eat! :D The doh is tied and is now stuck in the empty bathtub which has a slightly narrower end allowing the...

Ah thanks for the tip! Would humidity help? Thinking of getting some band to band the doh then chuck it in the shower room if it's going to help.

G'day all - I noticed recently that my doh appears to have widened across the back in the sense that the left and right "ends" of the doh have flared out.:eek: How do I shrink them back in?

Yuji Sano sensei for the vets!

Hang those arsonists I say!

Good god! :dead:

Sorry to bump this thread up. I thought I should share with you some insights from my training.

First of all, my left calve injury is being treated by a new physiotherapist who diagnosed a tear on...
