I've recently noticed a drop in my interest level in Kendo. I have a Hakama-Gi and Shinai, but we have just been doing drills. I want to learn something new, do something interesting. Can you only start doing more interesting things when you have Boju? I don't know, I'm thinking of leaving Kendo, but I have a Hakama-Gi and I think my parents would get mad at me.
