Hello, Everyone, I'm brand new to the kendo and the Forum scene, surprisingly enough, even when its supposed to be my generation that is tech savvy, well lets just say it took me a while to understand how to work email (^_^'), anyway, I got into kendo by watching an anime,but before you jump to any conclusions I intend on continuing kendo for a while, apparently my sempai's didn't think I would stay for very long, but I'm still hanging in there! Anyway, I have been reading a lot of the archives of this forum, although I didn't know that it was the archives,until a few hours ago ehehe, and well I found a lot of the information very useful, however I still had a few questions and intend to post them as they reappear in my mind, cause I already forgot them, don't have much of a memory, unfortunately -.-"
Well, that's all I had to say for now, Later everyone!

Hello all

Im new to the forum and kendo also. I just started practicing a month ago and I'm very excited to keep going to the dojo. Any beginners advice?

Any beginners advice?

Keep going in for practice. Even when you feel like staying home or doing something else. Just keep going in for practice.

Welcome from a female who started Kendo when I was old enough, probably, to be your Mom...and made it to 5-Dan bout 12 years ago (started Kendo 20 years ago, but I'm slow and sometimes had a work or injury rest period). If I can do it, anyone can!!!
By the way, taking Dan test in Tokyo, Japan (which your instructor can probably arrange, later on, if he/she is given enough time), is maybe a little easier than in the USA or elsewhere because there are so many females testing. That means we get put into similar-age groups and same-sex. Not only power, but I feel that the rhythm of female Kendo people is different from males'. Hang in there!
