ncole_91 Posted October 23, 2004 Author Posted October 23, 2004 I would prefer to go to Karate school instead of a Kendo school..... I will look into maybe buying a book or attending a workshop. I dont know if my instructor teaches swords, i know he teaches bos, but I guess i'll ask him..
ncole_91 Posted October 23, 2004 Author Posted October 23, 2004 Yeah, I am just about to start Karate, I live in Ottawa. I just want to kind of play around with it....thanks for the info.. buy a book on kendo... this one is pretty good (I have this one at home): http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=O24Vs5FAbR&isbn=4770021194&itm=1 and then get an instructor who can teach you (like someone else mentioned). Unless of course you instructor also teach sword. The book is a bit pricey, $50CND ... more than what I spent on the bokken, oh well
Hudson Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 I thought Kendo used Shinai? The game of chess is much like a swordfight; you must think before you move.
searcher Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 They also train with the bokken, just as some Kenjutsu schools train using the shinai. "let those who shed blood with me be forever known as my brother."
