Learn Kendo

This is something that I have wanted to do all my life, but Ive never gone out to do it. When I little me and my friends would have a grand time smacking eachother with sticks as we pretended to sword fight…Its finally time for me to learn how to actually fight with a sword. Won’t this be grand.

I’ve always admired swords and the art of sword fighting.

So if I ever record myself fighting off imaginary ninjas with a wiffle ball bat and then accidentally leave the tape to be found by others, at least I’ll look good doing it.

Going to be 50 soon. Learn a bit of Karate as a kid, but feel age coming on and need to move more. I like the idea of Kendo since it can be practices by all ages of people.

Need to find like minded people in St. Charles county, Missouri, or somewhat close.

Learn Kendo

I think kendo would be really fun to practice. I don’t know where there’s lessons here, but I am sure they are out there somewhere…

so what stops me from doing kendo, really?

I have no money and wouldn’t be able to pay for it.

And also the fact that I’m clumsy as hell, but… I could do it, right? Right?

This has to be one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself.

I really need some training. Not just cuz katanas are cool or because I love getting the shit beat out of me with sticks, but because it’s a great means of learning control of one’s body and mind and of honing observational skills and instincts. Plus, it’s a superb self-defense skill to have if ever I have to survive in a postapocalyptic world where people don’t use guns.

I also want to learn iaido…but it’s related closely enough I didn’t want to make it a completely separate goal.

The chances of a class ever opening up anywhere near me are slim, so I have given up on this idea.

As seen elsewhere in ‘my things’ I have made the decision to get back into judo.

I can sit on my backside and whine and bitch about the lack of kendo classes, or I can get out there and do something useful with my free time.

Back to judo it is, then!

any dojos for kendo (kumdo actually) better than iron dragon in houston tx?
