Why are so many so quick to jump to conclusions? It "seems" Korean? Some things "seem" suspicious? Why not visit the dojo, watch a class and talk to the instructor?

My perspective is as a long time student of traditional kendo in a NYC dojo who moved to Charlottesville some years ago. Although I don't often practice with the Myo Sim folks, I know and respect them. Yes, it's different from traditional Japanese kendo, but there is an intersting history behind the differences.

Hello!

Welcome to the forums.

So, as Shinkenshi-san asked, what "traditional" kendo dojo did you attend? If you have attended a real AUSKF dojo you'd know the stuff they do is not even kendo and certainly wouldn't be sticking up for these guys who made it all up. Yes, it's fake stuff... Sorry.

And, I can't see an AUSKF dojo member even wanting to practice at a McDojo like this one. It doesn't even compare... I take it you are not an AUSKF dojo member. Right?

My advice is to keep an opinion mind and make your own judgements based on facts. Please start training in a real AUSKF dojo before you start defending this group so you can learn the difference between correct and incorrect kendo.

Until then, I'd suggest not saying stuff like this. No offense of course.
