Wow, I'm also impressed 'bout your first class. As nebosuke and nubbysan it took a lot of time to start with kirikaeshi. Although it may be 'cause your quick development it still struck me as odd that a sensei made you do that. Kamae, footwork, proper distance... it's odd. I thought everybody should first try to grab correctly the bokken before even trying to use a shinai.

Anyway, don't loose that passion. As it also was said before me (how original of me, uh?) there's going to be hard times. It's for sure. Granted. So, always remember that kendo it's a very looooooooooooooooong way to go.

Enjoy every step!
