If he failed, it would have been as a kid, no? Lots of time to fail and retry. (No idea whether he did or not)
I'm trying to read that as not an insult, and failing.
Refereeing course from H8dan. On the one hand, I made him laugh really hard, so that's good, right? (Don't answer that)
Ugh... math so horrible up there. 27man... anyway...
Yes, for you, because you don't live in Asia and don't count "man". 27,000 yen would be counted 2(10K)7(k), depending on local pronunciation. It confused me when I moved here, because people would...
You count the 10,000s separately from the 1000s, with money, otherwise people might be confused and think you mean 27,000,000, rather than 27,000.
It will with that attitude!
Often.
I'll take a stab at this, for whatever that's worth. Kirikaeshi is something you have been doing longest and most often, as such it's probably the closest you will get to seeing someone's "natural"...
Really? At least up to fifth dan here we do it. I guess that's what I get for making assumptions.
He wrote that, but I don't see anything in those pictures that would glow in the dark. Not red thread, not the matte finish on the dragonflies. (I've seen quite a few people with those textured...
I don't get it. This bogu isn't even flashy.
Do what you gotta do. I took my last test all chudan, and afterwards one of the judges asked me why I didn't do any jodan. If you feel your jodan is weak, then probably you shouldn't be grading in...
If you have your mind set on kendo, then do kendo. Every practice you miss now you will regret later, if you get the bug. Bringing friends along is a crap shoot, I think. From what I've seen, people...
Sounds like an excuse. There are always going to be assholes out there (your sempai may or not be one). I don't care what sport/hobby you do, you're going to encounter the odd turkey. The question is...
It's not a different point of view. It's the same point of view. I did taekwondo before electronic scoring. It's not the same beast as it is today. What happened to taekwondo is the same thing that...
I dunno. Also sounds like plantar fasciitis. Or a toe cramp. Or radiating pain from the metatarsal joints. Could be a neuroma, even. Medical advice is frowned on for good reason.
What would be unusual about that?
Kendo: The Definitive Guide is not a book intended for solo/self-instruction, I think. Maybe practice page 29-31 until you find a dojo, if you really can't wait.
The answer to your second...
Of course you will. Not as fast as if you got to train everyday, but faster than not training at all.
Skipping the kyu rankings is possible. Common in some places, uncommon in others. (Germany and Australia, for example, take the kyu ranks very seriously). For the US, I believe you have to test for...
I think there are still plenty of places one can buy a shinai in Van, but yes, that would be a long trip to Dongdaemun.
For #2, I think the OP is asking whether it is okay to wear the tenugui in one of the fancier tie methods, rather than just the kendo paper hat. To which the answer is probably yes, but in reality...
Normal is the sailboat, or the raised veil?
