ok.
Hello as a newbie im stuggling to find what kendo exactly is! is it purely weapons or is there a hand/feet technique to it too?

if i were already training then yes, i wouldnt ask on a forum if there was a hand/feet part to it. im not asking many questions that have been asked before! im glad it came across 'as ultra "newb" standoff ish kinda way' as thats what i am!

im quite suprised of the attitude of people in here. i thought new starters were important for anything, but 'Lately, there's quite a bit of people that tend to think they can just sign up and expect to be welcomed with hugs and kisses'. bit drastic really dont you think? i thought id sign up, and after reading pages of stuff i didnt really understand due to technical words etc i thought id ask a simple question, which has now led to this!

as for the comment 'Also on the front page it says "Kendo World - Crossing Swords & Borders", that should have kinda answered your question, no? ' - no, not really. i dont want a question 'kinda answered'. i like black and white 'yes' and 'no'. opinions are welcome but fact is prefered whereever possible.

its a bit tiring reading people say about mind and spirit being important when ive been shot down a few times here already! nothing worse than any kind of martial artist trying to be philosophical all the time and talks in riddles! especially to someone new whos meant to be shown a positive side to it rather than try decipher sentences.

im aware that the best way to find out for myself is to go have a visit and check it out, but the only one in my area isnt on for a few more days so reading about it is as good as it gets untill then. at this rate im not sure if i'll want to if this is the way newbies are treated.

thanks Gideon but its not a school project, i am genuinly trying to find out for my own interest!
