kendo--ways of sword~~this is the closest thing i found in real life that is similar to JK2/JK3 :D

even my school's kendo club wants to use Darth Vader (with a bamboo sword in his hand) as an attraction for our club~~:D

anyone does it here?:D

(you know,in the earlier esp of Star War movies,they fight just like the way in kendo~~)

LOL Bail.

I want to, though you can't do it in Northern Ireland, I think.

I do Archery tho :D It pwns j00 :D:D
The thing with Archery is, though, that ppl have an annoying generalization/stereotype of Archers ie. Robin Hood, or ppl with a stick of bent wood who draw the string all the way back to way behind their shoulder :) In fact, archery nowadays is a very refined technique. Every part of your body must be in the perfect position to achieve the perfect shot. Shooting a bow can be difficult at times :) Bows are so advanced now, that the arrows are an Aluminium and Carbon Composite, and some bows have wheels ("Cams";) at either end, and 3 strings :D it acts like a pulley :) Of course, I have chosen to choose the way of the Traditional Archer, and I shoot a Bent Stick, with arrows made of wood, which I put together myself :) (I bought the actual shaft of the arrow, im not THAT good a carpenter :D)

Anyways, I'm drifting from the point now. My point i guess is, Archery is much different than you expect :) Unless you do it already, of course......And I am annoyed that I cannot do Kendo over here :(

Humm, got into kendo for a bit, but never got to interested. I do weapons training with my dad, but it is more general. I concentrate more on hand to whatever else, ie, using my own body. But I do love tonfas. So I won't be much help here, any other questions, ill give a try.

No kendo. Black belt in Kempo when I was 14. Red in TKD when I was 17. Sounds like a very interesting style though.

Yeah, I do kendo. I do iaido too. Iaido is a bit better, in my opinion, but Star Wars is based mostly on Kendo.

So, erm, I might be able to field questions, I don't know.
