I start kendo training this Friday. I've just observed one class. I have a background in Genbukan Ninpo Bugei, which included some kenjutsu training. Any tips, advice, suggestions, pics? Anybody know where to get a bogu set for cheap?
I've never done any official training but I've done lots of bokken/shinai play. I had to give it up after awhile because I couldn't find anyone that would treat it like a sword and not a bat. These days I stick to rapier and jiann.
negative... I had a friend who did it and enjoyed it. I am semi-taking aikido... I say semi b/c I have missed over half a semester worth of it... but its a free walk in class so I go when I have time and just learn what they are learning that day... there are 2 moves I thoroughly enjoy..... even if I am not quick at them yet. =p
