That's good news to hear. Finally after all these years hearing others how much fun they have (or not), you get the chance to join the crowd actively. Sincere congratulations.
I have another question. Recently an old friend of mine passed away and he participated in the Third World Championships for Kendo in Milton Keynes in 1976. I had a look at the program and other interesting stuff and one of the competing countries was if I recall correctly Morroco. Where have all these guys gone then I wonder. Maybe you should ask around and then they will return from their retirement. Good news keep it up and let us know how it goes.
