Yeah, we're not bad people but nothing but ill can come of trying to learn that way. Injuries, bad tenchniques, etc. Reason these guys have jumped so fast is that a lot of people want our advice and as soon as we say "stop training at home and get into a real dojo - do nothing till then" that crack the s#@ts and tell us we don't know what we're talking about and make all kinds of excuses.

However, the fact that you are looking for a dojo is great and definitely a step in the right direction. You're enthusiasm is also applaudable. Best thing you can do to 'prepare' for kendo is by increasing your overall fitness. This will be far more beneficial than trying to do anything you've learnt out of a book or over the net as these things are to compliment your training, nothing else. (I still say sprints are great for kendo but others may disagree).
