LOL very good you have a wit.

Thank you, I'm glad that you too enjoyed the mirth.

Now do you have any skill in fighting with a sword.

Yes, some, I have done kendo since 1988.

can you tell me what fighting rules you might change in your sport if any, or is your sport perfect. if it is then ok what rules when you fight with your sword do you use the most.

Kendo shiai and shinpan rules are quite complex, but I can't think of any rule that I would change.

kendo have right of way or can both fencers get points at the same time?

Senior kendo sensei say that (in competition) there is no "points at the same time", it is difficult to judge, very, but one sword/shinai would have landed before the other.

do you have any standing at a nat level.

Not in competion any more. Have a few medals for Au comps and for Oceania region comp.

have you ever fenced oversea.

Yes.

do you have any skill vs any other sword form.

Yes, iaido since 1996 and some jodo.

do you teach kendo?

Can and have, but currently have some very good teachers, senior to me, who are my guides.

have your taught kids?

Yes.

how long have you been teaching.

About 15 years.

what ages have you in your class.

N/a. BUt in the kendo dojo that I train in, ages are 14 to 62.

ok! i guess you have not a thing to share, all you got is nothing you do not know your sport very well to be able to give advice.

I've got plenty to share, but please don't confuse some humour with a reluctance to assist with sensible questions.

so I guess I can just read a book and get more than any of you can share.

I doubt that a book, will really give you much understanding of how to actually do kendo. That might be OK for fighting with light sabres though.

too bad. I am disapointed in your sport.

Pity, it's quite a mature, challenging and satisfying activity.

I guess I just treat your guys when they walk in to my gym as you have treated me. funny how you get treated like you treat others.

Fair enough.

But asking a question about a fictional activity that uses light sabres on a kendo forum was bound to create some humour. You said you LOL, good. So did I.
