bokuto is just a piece of wood, so doesnt really matter much

but my shinai started peeling off :S but it was okay after some sanding and re-oiling

we didnt wear men or kotes, just doh, tare, doji
wasn't bad for them at all, don't think there were any side effects..

and what's so bad about enmei ryu then? you probably don't know, that enmei ryu's founders were members of seishinkan (called antwerp kendo or something like that back then). a few of the yudansha of antwerp kendo decided to leave, encouraged other members to join them and to make some money by founding enmei ryu...

THAT is why i dont like enmei ryu

BTW, how did Eric Vanderheyden pass away? heart problems?
