Is this the only dojo in Singapore and do they favor taking natives first? How would it work out if I were to study abroad over there and wanted to practice?

Yes. Carlos mentioned doing a tuesday class when he retires, but I don't know what the situation is regarding that.
Is Jodan something tall people should consider learning? Or is chudan still the most appropriate kamae?
For me, Kendo is a blast when I'm in good shape and not dropping dead.
Oh, ok. I see what you're saying now.
It's hard to describe, but you don't exactly have to breathe with your chest. It feels like you breathe "downwards" when you use the diaphragm with your abs and core tightened. Powerlifters hold...
Yeah but why would you breathe with your chest unless you were contorted in some way that it became the only way to breathe deeply?
I thought the mokuso was from Buddhism... so it really is...
You're supposed to be exhaling when you connect the strike. We're not in pretzel shapes while doing kendo. I'm told to breathe with the hara and then you tighten with kiai.
It's never a good idea to do something you know is wrong.
Actually, that was a great job on Fox's part too. Everything was well put-together and not done poorly like a few other kendo segments on TV that I've seen.
They could have at least put the flaps the right way. Can't wait for pink bogu though. lol.
Definitely fold it, and crease it too. Mine looks like a cone because I would just fold it and not really press the pleats to make that nice crease in them.
That Kendo is described as "stick-fighting" on his website should be a red flag. Stay away from the fraud.
Jesus hotlinked-image intervention ftw.
Use vinegar for mold.
It really stings the top of your head when people mistakenly slide their right hand down the tsuka when they swing.
The magic phrase, ladies and gentlemen.
No AC in Florida? Christ...
Lol at "I need to lose weight." That's always what I think too. I've gotten to the point where I would rather have stopped kendo and worked to get in shape than to do kendo and be so exhausted that...
Hey, do the judges even know who is who during these trials? I mean, do they know it's Miyazaki vs. ________, or is it just A vs. B for them? I'm sure they could tell by the kiai and if they've seen...
Yeah, I hear ya. Can't help but hope for the best for anybody, though. I didn't mean that I hope they passed because I think they're definitely 8th dan material... I'm definitely not in any position...
Yeah, in the first video, the first guy had the coolest kiai. The second guy was awesome though. I hope all of them passed.
You guys only have half the story. Bale already nicely and courteously asked the DP to not fiddle with his lights in the middle of a scene. You don't just snap out of nowhere. The DP is in the wrong...
Mine has the wicking and I'm always really hot in it. Like bikram yoga hot.
I usually hear the following:
"Big swing."
"It's the swing."
and, of course, "Follow through!"
