"Pain is the sensation of weakness leaving your body"
"Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect"
Man, I've been away too long. Can't wait to get back to class.

"If you do kendo the right way, you won't get tired"
Well, I'm obviously not doing it the right way then.
Kendo is not a fight with your opponent, it's a fight within yourself
"If you cut dou like that, maybe you watch too much chanbara!"

Sensei: "You're Kendo reflects your daily life."
Kapplow: "What? It sounded like you said your Kendo reflects your lady life!?"
Sensei: "No, daily life. Well, maybe it reflects your lady life too! HAHAHA!"
Ok just been out for a meal with the family. Sitting waiting for dessert and start reading the label on my bottle of water:
"ABBEY WELL Natural Mineral Water fell as rain or snow before the age of pollution. Every drop of ABBEY WELL® has been naturally filtered through water bearing white sandstone for at least 3000 years. Today, it is still being bottled from a single underground source deep in the Northumbrian hills just as it has always been done."
At least 3000 years old . .
Why does it now have a "sell-by" date of just a few months from now?!
Made me laugh . . .
心正則剣正
It's not growing old that stops us playing; it's the stopping play that makes us old.
There are two rules for success: 1. Don't reveal everything you know.
all pain is just a slice of kendo taken out of context.
I'm a super kendo slacker.
Heard at a Iaido seminar very recently by a high ranking Iaido-ka describing the feeling in Mae:
"you dont want to go down and come shooting out too soon...."
I have never seen anyone look so bright red..

After a brief demonstaration of the first four 'new' kata and the beginners set off -
"no, no, no, I was just showing you the technique, not what to do."
It seemed funnier at the time...
"Stop. No good. 柔らかく."
I heard this a lot this weekend.
