Hi there!

Just about to start my Kendo training on the 9th over at the Mytchett Dojo, so am excited that am about to enter the world of Kendo.

I'll got interested in it after watching a Anime called Bamboo Blade so half way through it I throught, that be something good for me to do, so I was lucky enough to find a local Dojo in my area, I just moved to the area as well, so it's like a new start for me.

Brought all my Bogou armour few weeks ago and my Kendogi and Hakama arrive in the post in the next few days!

Really excited about this, am looking forward to learning everything and taking part in tournaments, which I hope I be ready to enter next year. I assume there are tournaments for each dan, even for first years?

I have the natural worries over the kiri and the seiza, a other thing that am kinda worried about is that I see when I visit the Dojo and in videos is that when people are sparring with each other, they carry on with the attack pass the person and then turn around, it just seems awkward to me (kinda reminds me of horse riding), through I guess all these things will become natural once I get into the swing of it.

Greetings. :P
