Yeah, I think I just got myself addicted enough to kendo that I feel little remorse for ordering keikogi, hakama, bokken, and shinai. My shoulders are sore today in ways I didn't think possible! It's great! Now if only I could develop callouses on my feet, and we'd be all set.
Amusingly, a side-effect of this is that I'm pretty sure I'd be going back to jiu-jitsu if I wasn't hosed. I let a friend talk me into going to one of her karate practices today, and while watching her try various grappling techniques, I realized that I do, in fact, miss AJJ. Which I didn't think I actually did. So now I'm wondering, at some point, if I should try doing both kendo and jiu-jitsu, because the latter really was a lot of fun until I dislocated my knee in an unrelated accident. Nevermind how confusing it could possibly be to be learning two arts at the same time. But not now. Stupid thesis.
