I'd love to go to harvard tournament with my club, but it's a little far for a travel and I'm graduating this year, so i'm not eligible after this :/

yeah, that was Teramoto sensei. I think Takanabe sensei was in the team too.

I think Eiga Naoki sensei compared to the guy he was fighting in the Korean team was shorter.

There are few AUSKF/FIK "for profit" dojos. Some are pretty strong too.

I'm a mere shodan, and this is just my opinion, but just because a hachidan does something I don't think it would be necessarily correct way for others to repeat same thing. Especially for Mudansha...

I'm not saying it's proper thing, but it is one of the options. As Halycon mentioned, I think college level Kendoists should be familiar with hiki waza.

You can also look into dojo's in New Jersey and Pennsylvania since it might be close to you than MD dojos (most are in central MD or southern). I believe Most NJ/PA dojos belong to GNEUSKF and EUSKF,...

Plus Shidogakuin in Rockville which isn't part of SEUSKF

Here is the website for Russian Kendo Federation, it's in Russian so you'll have to use the google translated version unless you can read Russian.

@ ジャン,

I thought this thread was about a tiny sticker on the do...

Isn't Zekken/Nafuda suppose to identify people? The stickers I think are way too small and hard to remember, but zekkens are bigger and more identifiable. That's just my opinion.

My thoughts exactly!

Well, first of all it's not cost effective at all. Who would want to travel every weekend for hours just for a 20 minute team match? To build relationship with other clubs you just gotta go out to...

According to AUSKF rules:
1-3 for ikkyu

yup, I assume green square is positive and red is negative rep.

Once you click on settings you'll see a window that says "Latest reputation received". Left side shows green square for positive and red square for negative. Next to that is the thread where you...

Click on Settings on top of the page, and it should take you to a page where you can see "Latest Reputation Received" with all the messages sent.

It might be because you're raising your left foot too high which puts more stress on your toes. I had same problem when I was a beginner, but it stopped once I adjusted how high I was keeping my left...

Masi Oka, Japanese guy from show Heroes is a Shodan in Kendo.

I only have 1 :(

oh, that's sad. It looked like this was going to turn out like a good movie.

Not sure if it's been posted before, I bumped into this online. According to the website movie is still in progress. Their last update was from 2 years ago, if anyone has any info about the full...

What's really sad is that their students devote so much time and effort training with them to learn their "Kumdo", and at the end they aren't learning anything legitimate. Their former student who...

Fukoro Shinai, as I understand are precursor to the modern shinai that's used in Kendo. They were used for Kenjutsu and are still used in some Koryu Kenjutsu schools.
