Greetings, fellow blades

Hi. I've been into swords my whole life, and apparently have some talent in the bladed sports....... exept Kendo. Kendo hurts. Bad.......... I started in kendo for about six months, and then switched to traditional fencing. I happen to also be one of the craziest @#$%#^&# to ever pick up a sword.......... and very possibly the biggest nerd.

Welcome. What do you mean by "traditional fencing"? Olympic or theatrical fencing?

Howdy and welcome aboard. Kendo is a blast. We trained bokto kendo for a while and that was interesting. Bokken instead of shinai and no bogu. First touch == last touch.
