even though it was a knock down he was fine. It was done with foam swords

..........................didnt mean to post. I misread.

keima · 26th July 2006, 03:07 PM

it means no rank

**ahmed61086** · 26th July 2006, 03:09 PM

For a second, I thought you meant, "beyond rank", so its sounded pretty bad.

did u read the whole forum? And why i am even here?

heyo keima.
thanks for clearing things up, and sorry for playing with ya.
my advice to avoid stuff like this, and kids copying your vids in the future would be to take them off youtube, however.
put some proper stuff on instead

I was gonna post something along the lines of experience but I can't be arsed. If you are happy to play around in your back yard, go knock yourselves out. You'd be much better off actually practicing a JSA rather than pissing about with rubber boffers.

first of all, proper gear rottunpunk = i cant afford a bogu and bear in mind, the friends that i spar with, i'd have to provide one for them too. Now there have been situations where we did it with Karate gear (I am repeating myself here). But NO ONE ON YOUTUBE IS GOING TO COPY WHAT WE DID BECAUSE IT JUST LOOKED SO UNCOOL. The backyard videos were just us having a little fun while adding some swordwork into play. The videos of me vs kendokas were the serious duels.

And what is JSA? Japanese standards?

If you get some big shoes and a red nose you can be a clown, you are certainly funny enough.
Serious duels.
Hahahahahahah.

I'd like you to meet my friend, Musashi sensei...

I am sorry keima but I am confused, you say you do Kendo but dont prefer that style for dules. Yet at the same time you declare bogu too expensive. Well how are you doing kendo?

Oh, and where on the east cost are you?
