Have we found the "Dojo-no-hebi"?

The "I've fallen and I can't get up!" badge?

Now if you could just get them in steel, they might be worth sewing on in numbers...

Not in anything other than karate or judo.

Personally, I've never understood the need for anyone outside of the organization to know who or what you are. It's none of their business in my opinion. Of course, children love to have things to seperate them from the crowd, so any personalization that they can earn is probably as good thing.

By the way, what is a Hasumi Ryu Kendo?

I have one of these badges. Had it on velcro and wear it upside down on purpose. When asked it was so I can read it and say that I was one of them people that tells others what to do. Simple really.
