I know as kendo folks, we're naturally going to go to the side of the sensei.

I think there is something to consider though. There are negligent kendo sensei out there. As in teachers who treat...

well perhaps he was an idiot for doing kendo. But the suing part was clearly not idiotic at the end of the day.

Anyway, seems like a senseless petition.

Well he was proved not to be an idiot. He won! Perhaps the judge was an idiot (does a judge just award damages in HK?). But this dude got around USD $25000 out of it.

I just read the title for the petition, and it wouldn't make sense under US rules (and i know it's in HK). At least in the US, you can't remove something from becoming case law.....which would be...

I love it when I see people with martial arts resumes that look like:

9th dan karate
7th dan jujitsu
8th dan judo
9th dan double bladed sabre
7th dan ninjitsu

If it WERE legit, either this...

I think starting a new dojo is a large undertaking that is really going to take the initiative of a sensei or a group. I don't know that it's necessarily the responsibility of the AUSKF to start a...

that clip was pretty cool. I couldn't help but find that kirikaeshi kind of funny though.

my dojo (detroit) just sent out an email that we've been invited to seuskf and texas. If there's enough people who are interested to form a team, I could be interested. I'm guessing that might be a...

When I was still in NY, after I got my 3-dan I used to practice at a kumdo dojang on a semi-regular basis. I think it was pretty beneficial. I didn't necessarily want to play the way they did, but...

Years ago I got a wicked case of elbow pain from kendo. Of course the fact that I was simultaniously playing tennis and ultimate frisbee didn't help either. Then as soon as I stopped using my...

Thurs = Detroit kendo 30 mins


Sat morning = U of M kendo club 10 mins (although I don't do this one much)


Sat afternoon = Detroit kendo 1 hr

beer.
extra blankies. It's freaking cold at night over there.
as many gi as you can get your hands on. especially if it rains, nothing dries.


Hey Paul, I thought that thing was on the verge...

The problem is that if that were to happen, it's too late to say "that's not kendo". To most of the world, the new kendo..... that would be kendo. If a different version of kendo became olympic, it...

I personally wouldn't approach learning kendo this way. Learning kendo by correspondance is not a good idea in my opinion.

Emit, if you had good results doing things that way, congratulations. ...

jj, take a look at this link after page 12.

In general, there are 2 big problems (as well as others).

1. People...

I like the front logo. The whole business in the back? Not so much. But that's just me. Admittedly I only like simple kendo shirts/jackets etc etc.

having seen some japanese school team jackets, they usually just say "kendo" in kanji and maaaaaybe the school name. Some of the university ones I've seen actually have the school name "xyz...

I watched olympic boxing the other day and listened to the commentators talk about how the scoring system has been altered for the olympics as opposed to how it is for any other boxing.

I thought this was going to be another timmer thread.

the problem with this drill (the lunges) if done too much is that it causes some people to drag their left foot in regular tobikomi-men.

Hey Paul,

at Cornell we always have a large volume of beginners in the fall. I find that some 'get it' and some just don't. And the order in which things happen varies from person to person. ...

NICE!

I said that one was the most awesome. I love especially the one person who made up their own 'ryu' with their own name. I bow before our international leaders. Our bases are belong to...

I kind of see where you're coming from Batz. I also end up feeling a bit embarassed for the person when people come at me with broken Japanese, but I usually try to say something like "that's pretty...

I love how timmer still wrote "Dr." even though it's established this guy never even graduated from college.

I'm not entirely convinced that timmer is just a guy who knows nothing who's just an innocent in all of this. But of that I have no proof so it's entirely conjecture on my part.
