I'm too young to comment on this, but wouldn't going to kendo be equivalent to those guys going out for bowling or golf?

that's a really good question.

of course, it depends on what golf or bowling means to the person but i am guessing you think of it as a thing someone does purely for recreation. like some people might go clubbing or whatever in the same way?

some people would probably accuse me of taking kendo too seriously, but i put kendo on the same level as work (and school, when i was still taking classes). it isn't for fun; even if i am filling a little under the weather or if i am really not in the mood, i feel that i still have to go to work, i still had to study, and i also still have to go to practice. i even have practice marked out on my work calendar to block out the time. so, to me, it isn't the same thing as just personal play time.
