well as i said, the sensei seemed impessed with us, so maybe thats why he put us straight into kirikaeshi, but we also had other prospective beginers watching so maybe thats why??? i think alot of you thought i was a back yard nija when i first started posting here, and some of you probbally thought i would never attend a dojo and just liked to talk about it, but, Kendo to me is such an extreme passion, im continually thinking about it, i read up on the terms and vocabulary every day, some one at work only has to vagualy mention a martial art and im of on some kendo related tirade, in short, i LOVE kendo, and im glad your all here to go through it with me
