Hello!

I understand that footwork is important, but could someone tell me why. I mean like what type of importance does it have to kendo?

Also I know that practicing alone isn't good, but if I have too I'll try. I think I will be able to learn a good bit of the basics on my own but I will not know till I try.]

Don't bother teaching yourself. It's a complete waste of time. You will learn everything all wrong. And, it's a pain to unlearn bad habits.

Trust me. I wouldn't lie about that. Please just attend a dojo. You may think you can learn things on yor own, but you can't. I'm really sorry.

Drizz, ever heard of a little hole in the ground called Winnie, that's where I live. It's not that big of a place but it's okay and I like it, somewhat. The nearest one I know of is also in Houston, but I don't know if I can go that for to make the classes. How far is far? I go to my dojo, and it's 2 hours drive one way. You can too. I right now, can go only once a month... gas prices caused that. WAS going twice a month.

So, please don't complain about the drive. Many of us go that far to train.

You can too!

Also could anyone give me their kendo practice schedules and about how long they've been doing it to get to where they are. I would like to see what I'll be getting myself into lol. 2 years. Lots of hard work!! No joke.

If I had my computer back, I'd see what I could do about helping you find a dojo. But, I'll have to wait one more week before I can take it to get it fixed. I'm not at home... So, no extra time to hunt for tou right now. I'm really sorry!
Unless you're willing to wait...
