Watching Kendo

Tamaki of Bamboo Blade

Finally went to watch a kendo class with my mom today, and just got back a while ago. It felt great to see real kendo right before my eyes.

I was excited, but overly nervous too. Even as I was just outside the Japan Club, I started to feel butterflies in my stomach.

Outside the Japan Club

Once we found the kendo room(dojo?), I was a little afraid of entering ^^; Just looking at the kendo practitioners was intimidating me.

Watching them was very exciting, and I learned much more about kendo. It's definitely lots of hard work and requires dedication, so I figure I'm gonna have to build up my stamina, since it's about level 0.

I hope to join the kendo class soon, but will have to find out a little more details and get parent's approval first. ^^;

One of my favorite kendo videos:



BTW- would like to thank Mindless Ramble for giving me guides on what to do when I get there, and for answering my questions. You really saved me!

And in case you were wondering, I did NOT get into kendo because of Bamboo Blade.
