west tryouts
east tryouts
combo tryouts
and top 20 tryouts

they get free stuff.

they don’t get $hit from the government

they don’t get paid

US team
kendo is the easy part, its giving up your "life" that’s hard.
is kendo more important than your gf/wife?
is kendo more important than your career?
is kendo more important than your kids?

if you can put these things on hold
great! go for it!

I like football, basketball, baseball, beer, work, gf, and the beach way more than kendo.

Last tryouts I made it to the last round with only practicing once a week through out the whole tryout process. kendo is the easy part, giving up your life is a great sacrifice, one that I don't want to make. I am not looking down on those who can make the sacrifice, but I don’t think it’s up there with the Peace Corps or volunteer work.
When sacrifices are concerned, to each his own

If you guys are thinking about being on the team, see how you stack up at the nationals (yudassha division). That’s a pretty good way to evaluate whether or not you should tryout.
