A Crow Wading in the Mist: The Path of a new Kendoka: October 2005
http://bruce-snell.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
A Crow Wading in the Mist: The Path of a new Kendoka. A record of progress in my Kendo training. Wednesday, October 26, 2005. Another class taught by the "yelling sensei". He has definitely become my favorite instructor. He finds so much joy in what he is teaching that you can't help but feel excited about what you are learning. We practiced kiri-kaeshi for the first time tonight. While it seemed like a lot to absorb, once I actually did it, it was fairly easy to remember the steps. Which were just fine&...

A Crow Wading in the Mist: The Path of a new Kendoka: January 2006

A Crow Wading in the Mist: The Path of a new Kendoka. A record of progress in my Kendo training. Friday, January 27, 2006. Tonight we had the instructor who likes to torture us. We worked primarily on upper body today, not so much on footwork. This lead for plenty of opportunity for his brand of humor. At one point, we were doing 1 handed men. Posted by Bruce at 9:18 AM. I spoke with sensei before class about when to start looking at bogu. He said "let's see.you've been here almost 5 months? I'm starting...

A Crow Wading in the Mist: The Path of a new Kendoka. A record of progress in my Kendo training. Thursday, April 20, 2006. Day 40: What I intended to write. While this was happening, I got an email from Arthur over at Kendo Style. Saying that my armor was here and ready for me. Needless to say, I was very excited. He came to my office and I once again appropriated our high tech executive visitor center for the low-tech purpose of making sure my bogu. Fit It turns out that the kote. I knew the himo. There...

A Crow Wading in the Mist: The Path of a new Kendoka: February 2006
http://bruce-snell.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
A Crow Wading in the Mist: The Path of a new Kendoka. A record of progress in my Kendo training. Saturday, February 25, 2006. As it was Thursday, class was in the smaller gym, which in my head means that it should be the easier day. It never is. We started off class with somewhere around 80 hayasuburi. A few minutes later, the chief sensei. Two days later, it is a little darker and doesn't hurt anywhere near as much. One of the great things about Kendo is that it makes your feet look hardcore ;). Life ha...

A Crow Wading in the Mist: The Path of a new Kendoka. A record of progress in my Kendo training. Friday, March 10, 2006. Day 33: Day of serious madness. It was actually a lot easier than I thought it was going to be and I didn't have much trouble with it. Then, he got an evil grin on his face and said "turn around". We then proceeded to hop in the air backwards. On Well, immediately after warmups, the person leading the class had everyone don their men. By 9:00 we were all pretty winded, but everyone was...

A Crow Wading in the Mist: The Path of a new Kendoka. A record of progress in my Kendo training. Wednesday, November 16, 2005. Attendance tonight was low enough that we had 3 people in each line, which of course meant a very tiring class. While it was a strenuous work out, I had no problem with the 50 haya suburi. At the end of class. Posted by Bruce at 11:44 AM. Friday, November 11, 2005. As I kept knocking shoulders with him as I continued through after the strike. The hardest part was striking do.

A Crow Wading in the Mist: The Path of a new Kendoka. A record of progress in my Kendo training. Tuesday, September 27, 2005. I had to go to a work function this evening and missed kendo. Luckily it is Tuesday, so I only have to wait until Thursday for my next class. Posted by Bruce at 11:14 PM. Monday, September 26, 2005. I've been looking for good methods to improve strength and conditioning without the hassle of going to a gym. There is a wealth of great information available. During warm up, an older...
