I broke a pink ninja bobble-head....he was so cool........that's what I get for doing suburi in a 3'x3' space.

Luckily I'm usually home alone since I can't drive yet and everyone in my family either is working or eating chili at Skyline...So I practice in the garage if I must be indoors. Although certain times I have hit a shelf and sent my brother's car parts raining to the concrete below....Luckily he hasn't noticed since I try to put them back relatively where I think they'd be...I just hope he didn't need those headlight bulbs...

Yes we 'belgiums' laugh a lot at them. Like right now I'm laughing at his inability to spell 'Belgian'.

Who started this thread then? It was a fellow country man.

[Gintovtosik]

hhhmmm kan ik hieruit opmaken dat vooral nederlanders brokken maken thuis?

Ja en de Belgen maken brokken in de openbare ruimte, in twee talen nog wel!
Ps dit was een grap en geen reden voor een 20 pagina's lange verhandeling over wie de meeste brokken maakt.

Molleke hhhmmm kan ik hieruit opmaken dat vooral nederlanders brokken maken thuis?
Could I conclude from this that the Dutch mostly breaks stuff home?

Fonz Ja en de Belgen maken brokken in de openbare ruimte, in twee talen nog wel!
Yes and the Belgiums break stuff in public places, in 2 languages

Ps dit was een grap en geen reden voor een 20 pagina's lange verhandeling over wie de meeste brokken maakt.
This was a joke and not a reason for a 20 page long scripture about who breaks the most

eirenaios
haha:P
bij mij valt het nog wel mee! alhoewel mijn lamp op zolder al een paar klappen heeft ontvangen:P
I haven't had any yet, eventhou the lamp on the attic already had a few hits.

I've roughly translated the Dutch parts for all of you that don't know it. There is alway this joking between the Belgium and Dutch people I wanted you to have a taste of it too

A few holes in the seiling and a trashed ceiling lamp while practising with bokken before I started kendo practise.

*bows head in shame*

PS Didn't like the ceiling lamp so it already had to go

[Avoireeideree]

LoL with whom not?

[alex_loudermilk]

Left a shinken embedded in the ceiling practising nukiuchi . . . I knew there was a reason for the kneeling forms in Iai . . .

[Roneyslelry]

I once hit a bottle of coke standing on the livingroom table, when it hit the ground the neck broke and you know how messy cola can get

[DuePew]

In this thread I learn that when our fellow kendoka is drunk, it is most likely he/she will damage something rather than the ceiling and the light bulbs. Man... I never get drunk before, wonder what will I do to my house if I'm drunk?

[mylittlejewelaa]

Thanks LarsCW, I was about to ask someone to translate it as I don't understand any of them.

I don't recall breaking anything except accidently hit my sister on the head when she passed by behind me while I'm doing suburi.

I'm lucky to live in a house with 9 foot ceilings, so unless I get an absurdly long custom shinai, theres no way I'll be hitting light bulbs and ceiling fixtures!

I drunken katate-tsuki'ed my screen door shut and put a hole right thru the mesh though...

[acissombiapse]

hhhmmmm ceilings seem to be popular...

[Gremlinn]

In the first year I started kendo... One night I had excessive energy left, so I decided to do some suburi before bedtime... All went too excited (although I was kneeling down already)... That poor bulb got shattered, and my tiny room went pitch black at 1am. Used a torch (thank god for the battery!) to pick up every tiny piece of glass left on my bed - took ages to clear up the mess...

That was the 6th time I hit the ceiling bulb - a few times they just went dead but this one completely exploded.

The lesson is: I never swing my shinai around at home again!!

[leacturavar]

Well as for me, I don't break stuff. But I have a hazard practicing at home... every time I practice my cat attacks me whenever I do ashi sabaki. He will crouch down for a while and looks at my feet then when the time is "right", he jumps at me. He thinks my feet are toys... Occassionly, he will play with my shinais by grabbing on it, bites it and scatches it with his two hind claws (lucky he doesn't have front claws). After that, he will zoooom runs really fast to somewhere else and prepare for the next attack...
