-Question 1
How long have you been doing kendo?

I no longer count in years. I count in injuries.
By my reckoning, I have been practicing Kendo for
four-thousand bruises, 16 hyper extended ligaments, 2 broken bones,
and one ripped muscle.
That's about 60 years in a dog's lifespan,
..but the dog died 20 bruises ago.

Question 2
-Why do you start playing kendo?

Just as "One does not simply walk into Mordor," One does similarly simply "play Kendo."
Allow me to simply cut to the chase, and spare you all the lofty sputtering about the "why we do Kendo" spiel.
The truth is, I'm a complete and utter masochist.
and don't let anyone fool you, so is anyone else who stays with Kendo.
Think on it. You are hit with bamboo poles about the head and extremities for years on end,
and all you have to look forward to is "getting better at it."
I rest my case.

-Question 3
What do you consider to be the highlights of Kendo?

The drugs and myriads of loose women mainly. That,
-and Lots and lots of Olive-loaf sandwiches.

-Question 4
How do you think that kendo will/can become internationalized?

Kendo is and always has been strictly an American sport.
In fact, we could not have tamed this savage land without it.
and I'll be damned if I'll let some filthy foreigners corrupt the sanctity of it's holy purity.

-Question 5
Do you think Kendo should be considered as an Olympic event? Why or why not?

Kendo is not about winning points, or bettering yourself as a person.
You need to understand this simple fact.

Kendo is about secretly wanting to be a Ninja.

There are no prizes given for Ninjas.
Ours is a lonely lot in life, you know, begging for handouts, killing small dwarves for licorice bits, making mud-angels in the backyard, that sort of thing.

-Question 6
Do you think that there is a difference between Japanese kendo player and yourself when it comes to way of thinking about Kendo? Yes or No, Explain.

I keep telling you, there is no such thing as a Japanese Kendo player.
Next you'll be saying that Sushi is Russian! (which it is.)

There, your questions are answered.
Now then,
Where can I pick up my check?
