Well as of right now...I would feel very uncomfortable teaching. Not that I can't relay some of the basics to a noob....but I am still getting the hang of the basics myself! So as of right now my Kendo is nowhere good enough to teach, I think. That is why I am hooooping to find someone else who is of a higher rank than me who can teach.

I do feel pretty good about just getting together to practice though...which brings up another question. If its just me and 1-5 other people getting together twice a week, how formal should it be? What I mean is, should we still adhere to strict dojo rules, etc.

Another thing I've thought about....if this club gets going, and I am the main organizing force behind it....it will be strange that once I step into the dojo, I'm the lowest/one of the lowest ranked kendoka....yet outside I'm the President? Should I defer to a higher ranking student to act as the President outside the dojo? How should that work? I mean, they would be my senior...*sigh*.
