It's actually in my left foot I'm pretty sure, I only practice sitting and have kendo class once a week, so I get a 6 day break every time lol.

Ever since I've started kendo I've goten these painful foot cramps, 2 in particular, one is where my pinky toe hurts terribly, usually after I put pressure on it, another one is on the bottom of my...

lol ok, thanks guys!

So I just got my hakama and keiko-gi today which I'm really excited about, but on my hakama there are a bunch of tiny white threads and I don't know if I'm supposed to take them off or if they're...

Talk about buying in bulk, scroll down this page and you'll see what I mean: http://www.ninecircles.co.uk/Wooden_Weapons__Shinai/Shinai__Shinai_Parts/Shinai_-_Keichiku.aspx

So do you guys think it...

yah lol, of course its not exactly like kendo, but it was still kinda cool to see it in a vid.

I ran across this just a little while ago and since kendo isn't that widely known about I thought it was interesting, but some of the comments are hilarious because people don't know about kendo so...

So basically i've been going to kendo practice and I think at least 2 people so far have told me to widen my stance, but when I do it feels super awkward so I was wondering if there is any sort of...

yah but there aren't any rooms tall enough in my home.

Well I went out to practice today and ran into one big problem, winter. I rolled out the linoleum on a surface I had shoveled and the linoleum got snow on it from me unrolling it on that, so while I...

I got a 6x5 foot sheet of linoleum for $20, thanks for your help!

This happened to me last practice and the guy who was helping me told me that I was squeezing the handle too much, because your fingers are supposed to be firm, not squeezing the shinai as tight as...

Actually my sensei was gone because he went to a tournament in Detroit, I got all the help from one of the more experienced people, so you don't need a sensei, you just need someone who knows the ins...

So that'd be roughly 27 USD, I could afford that, I guess i'll see what I can find, thanks!

yah I thought of that, but how much would that cost?

I'd highly suggest that if your serious about kendo that you join some sort of club or kendo organization, because you really need someone who has done kendo for a while and can show how to do things...

I can't even slide my feet across the concrete because its so coarse, if anybody knows how to get like a board of hardwood flooring that you'd use in your house, I'd really appreciate it.

well I could just practice footwork, but in my opinion it would seem better to practice my joge suburi and footwork at the same time, that way I get used to it.

Yah but how am I gonna have any room to do anything in there?

Do you think I could do it on concrete, cause I have this nice flat sheet of concrete right in front of my garage, my only worry would be since the surface is coarse, it might not work very well.

I just had kendo practice today and it seems its hard for the first 5 minutes, but after that it just sort of becomes natural and much easier.

For me it depends what mind set i'm in, I've been struggling with insomnia for the last few days and the first time I had insomnia made me dread trying to get to bed the next night, and sure enough I...

thanks

So I just started kendo and when I first went to practice, my feet kept getting stuck when i was sliding them across to do my joge suburi and when I practice at home I have to go outside and wear my...
