this happenes to me every day i practice. but it doesent bother me too much.

when i kiai, people go bug-eyed because of my seriousness.

the other day, i was showing my 4 friends my new shinai/bogu. then one suggested we have a kedno tournament with slightly modified rules. we agreed no tsuki, and you cant hit the head hard. they went home to get there football equiptment and i got into bogu.

when we drew straws, (too see who goes first) i was not in the first run.
my two friends, instead of hitting eachother, HIT THE STICKS TOGETHER!
finally one person landed a kote blow twice and won.

now it was my turn. me vs kyle. he asked me if getting hit hurts and i took off my men, then said "hit me as hard as you can strait down the middle"
he did, it hardly phased me. so there we were, a kendoka vs a kid with football pads and a shinai. when i charged forwared and kiai'd, he FROZE. and forfitted. at the end i won, but thats probly because of the (them) "stand back and swing, after hitting drop back" vs (me) "going forward striking and following through".
