oh yes and a bit later :-

"50 Choyaku Suburi..... One breath!!!"

Is true, i was there!! It was so bloody hot that night and class went somthing like.....REI.......welcome to hell!!!!!! Then there was evil suburi, and then even more sadistic kihon at kakari-geiko speed, and then jigeiko....this went on for two hours with 120 second break in the middle. His classes are becoming well known for being extreme work outs, just ask the 4 students that collapsed In defence of Sensei Norse he is satisfied with effort and never asks the impossible.....he just assumes everything is possible!

Here Here!!

Besides if class was easy i don't think i'd like it

[kawa]

"he is a gay, get him boys" ---------- your Sensei actully says that??!! lol

[Nishi]

I alomost forgot.....We have a Dutch sensie as well, and his english is very good but he misses small points from time to time...his one liner always kills me.....

"Can everybody get into couples of three"

The Dutch are more liberated than us....

My sensei emphasized on foot work a lot and the body.
Cant remember what he actually said but the usual stuff everytime.

that is good, I found myself telling my kohai to do the same thing.

[Antonin]

I got:
"your kendo looks beautiful, but it's not very efficient"
and along the same lines:
"your gendo looks realy good as long as you don't move"
Both I took as compliments...

Who said that? someone at Wakaba or Hizen?

I got a comment on my first trip to the dojo in Japan. Sensei told my father in law.
"When I first walk in and see him(me), I thought maybe shodan or nidan. Then he start to practice and I think.....no dan...kyu"
I thought this was a compliment since I was 4 kyu at the time.

My sister recently started kendo and she did a Kote strike that hit the upper arm of a person wearing armour. He said "Don't Worry, it is not your arm". I found that to be quite funny.
