Thanks for everyone's responses. Less to do with the how as I'm sure it will come through further practice, I'm also curious to hear about how long it took some of you to retrain yourself and your...

Hey everyone. I hope you all had a great 2012 and are ready to carry it over into 2013. I'm in the process of relearning my footwork (again), this time focusing on leading with my body rather than...

9 months into full bogu.

Wouldn't have minded it really if they hadn't been whining throughout the entire thing. "Ow... that really hurts" "Oof" "Ouch"...

really?

Sent you a pm.

One thing you mentioned in your original post is that you felt as if you were wasting the time of everyone else who was much better than you. I absolutely understand that sentiment. But that said,...

I attended my first MWKF summer camp at the earliest stages of my kendo career. I would heartily recommend going. Everyone there is divided into ability oriented groups with one of them being for...

I'm going to be in the area in the near future and wasn't really able to put much sense together as to what's going on in the area. I get the impression there are a number of clubs under one...

I have no clue who you clowns are, please introduce yourself at the tourney. In all seriousness though, very excited to see you guys and everyone else!

Sure thing. I hope it all works out. Good luck on the shinsa and if you're ever in the area, stop by for a visit - once family, always family.

Hi Scott - the best person to contact would be Eric Abbey. He's currently in charge of all the MWKF promotion coordination and should be able to make the appropriate inquiry into obtaining a new...

I don't know what it is, but more and more I see people posing in these kinds of pictures with the red packing strings still on the shinai... and I'm sure he has to stand like that to keep the men...

Who did the local distributor go through? And that was $60 including the embroidery? Impressive if so.

You've already invested a ton more through blood, sweat, frustration, and effort - not to mention the money you've already spent. If your sensei says you're ready, then you are. If you're really...

Ok, word is that the team semis of Japan and Korea had some great matches. For the life of me, I can't find any videos of the matches. Does anyone know of anything posted? Thanks in advance.

Tango - sure looks like it. I'm jonsing to hear about the whole experience... as well as that match.

oh, and there was a semi-healthy discussion of the match on the WKC Twitter thread a few pages...

has anyone found any video of the Jp v. Kor matches?

Thanks all for the seeding info. I thought it was a strictly random draw.

I'll definitely raise a pint for their efforts.

I thought the draws were random and not based on previous competition's performance.

You ok big guy?

Woot! now i get to refresh youtube!

...who tied? d.yang...

did the US score at all?

Burger - No, just that they are the only two left to go - and having already lost the overall title, itmay be interesting to see how they perform given the lack of reward at the end.

Fon - want a...
