One of this year's competitors seems to be a woman (Hattori ??, 2nd place winner and rightmost in the back row in this picture:...

I suppose, some of what you are referring to can be found in this thread in a post by Prof. W. Bodiford.

Here's a stupid question: what's wrong with "r-u" in my signature? I know curse words are replaced with exclamation marks, but for the life of me I can't figure out why "r-u" should be wrong.

There is a story in J.-P. Reniez's book on Chuden (in French) about Nakayama Hakudo's study of iai. I think I posted it in part quite a while ago. In short, he said that Hosokawa Yoshimasa didn't...

Have you ever heard the story of the Russian spy, who'd been stealing secrets from Pentagon successfully for a very long time, although he only knew two phrases in English? These were "Help me." and...

Scott, congratulations, well done! Wish I was there and we'd finally have met in a match :)

Andy, congratulations to you too!

I don't think I know who else of the medal winners are members here.

As I understand, he is a student of Ishigaki Mutsuyoshi-sensei from Sapporo. That is where they go to in Japan.

Thanks! I was hoping to get over to your seminar as well, but maybe next time. Or see you here in Moscow? December, perhaps? :D

Here is the brief overall explanation that he gives. I hope it shows allright:

That'd be me :) We've already corresponded with Vladimir, and I'm looking forward to seeing him in Moscow.

Urbalte,

Unfortunately, you are wrong about Moscow. There is no dojo associated with...

Pasi directed me back to this thread a while ago, but it's only now that I got the time to post here.

Regarding the three sets of waza mentioned above, they are mentioned with short...

That's right. BUT, it does have this strange demo at the very end.

It is unlikely that it's the same thing as Matsumura-no Jo, but does anyone have any idea (if you've seen it, that is), what is demonstrated by Matsui Kenji-sensei and somebody else at the end of the...

Hi,

Does anybody have a copy of full taikai results? I haven't been able to write them down myself, and it has just occurred to me that I haven't seen them published on-line anywhere.

Any help...

Deepest condolences to Imai-sensei's family and everybody connected with Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryu on behalf of all budo practicioners in Moscow.

One of the guys from my club wants to get a Jidai.jp iaito. Any reviews now that (if) you've received them?

Hi! I've sent a link to this thread to an acquaintance of mine (we're both moderators on a Russian budo forum), who is training at the Moscow Shorinji Kempo dojo. I think, he's also the webmaster for...

I'm in! I already know I got him! :rolleyes:

They've been discussed on the Kendo World forums a while ago (Misc. Events section). There were a couple of this dojo members participating as well.

While this is not exactly on topic in this thread, I think many of you (especially those who can read Japanese fluently) would like to see what is on this page. There seem to be quite a lot of...

No, this image is SO wrong in the context. What are the two guys doing in the background sitting in seiza? There's no place for them in such a kendo world.

Incidentally, we have a cheerleaders...

So, has anyone of you who's been in Stockholm tried Hobgoblin there? It's one of my favourites, but I couldn't bring myself to drink it in Sweden seeing as it was watered down to the 3.5 alc./vol....

And the results have recently been published on the official website http://www.ec2004.se

Congratulations to Andy who brought back 4 gold medals plus a special award :)

I'm sure I would love tanashita, except I've never been taught it :(

Yeah, I know. I've also spent two years in Norway which isn't much different alcohol-wise, but gave me the necessary experience :D
