There is the Capital Area Budokai which also does Mugai Ryu. Hopefully the distance isn't too much of a factor since it's in Alexandria, but that's a good place to start with practice. There might...
I'm pretty sure it's just an assurance that any blood spilled during practice will be STD free. However, that doesn't keep it from being a strange quality to aikido practice.
I'm pretty sure that someone would correct me if I'm wrong, but my hypothesis is that there were rubber soled ones for martial arts like Ninjutsu. I don't think that the cloth soled ones would...
Interesting. I wonder why the ones given on AWMA and other sites are so much more expensive than those dedicated to selling tabi. I have seen some of the reviews for the tabi mentioned on the first...
Thanks for the replys everyone. I have looked around at some of the tabi and the rubber-soled ones seem to be the most expensive, unless the other kind are a better option.
I am one of those people who have low ceilings in the house so it's hard to do some Kendo practice inside. I can do the suburi inside, but I guess it would be nice to practice outside. I have...
I just had a look at those videos and, to put it nicely, it made my stomach turn. I can see how someone who doesn't know about martial arts might get sucked in due to the fact that they are using...
Didn't think about doing that. Oh well, at least I can post this in other forums to see if anyone might know about it.
Do you have any pictures of it? That way it can help others out with Ebay searches and stuff.
Thanks for the responses guys!

Kyudo uses tabi to train. I don't know if it's an exclusive thing or not, but that's what I always see.
Kendo has many varieties of tabi to wear to protect your feet from injury. While they...

I practice for 2 hours on Thursday and 3 hours on Sundays. The Thursday practices are for the advanced people to work on waza and jigeiko. The Sunday practices are divided up to 1 hour of Kata...
I have checked many websites and, unfortunately, have not found an Iaido dojo. But upon checking an Aikido site, I found the Dogwood Aikikai website and they say that they teach Iaido with proper...

Looks like someone forgot where they came from.
It seems like he wants to become Japanese since he puts them in high regard vs. putting down Americans, his own people, at every turn he gets.

Those drills seem like fun. I would like to try those sometime.
One new thing that we do is to do suburi with two shinais for those that don't have a suburito. It's not my favorite exercise in...
Thanks for the replies. Now the rudeness actually makes more sense.
Since the Kendo World forums are down :(, I'll just post it here.
I have heard that doing a tsuki on a sempai or a sensei is rude. Other than safety reasons, are there any other reasons for this?
