@luisakakazuki

You are not too old to learn. You are actually young!

Hello! :)

You said something about that some people do nito in the beginning because of their medical conditions.. What medical conditions would that be?

Thanks! :)

[dojo2go]

Some people have knee problems so they cannot perform a strong fumikomi. Even though nito also needs fumikomi, nito uses more side steps. So it is much easier on the knees.

I took nito when I could not take chudan because of my shoulder problem.

Question, if the right hand is usually the dominant hand, then why is the left hand used for power? Wouldn't it make more sense for the left hand to be control and the right hand to be power?

Wow, how can I get this guy to come to The Tri-cities in Washington. There isn't a single kendo dojo in the area. the closest is 2 1/2 hours away.

@Filmskra It's written shinai.And it depends where you live really. If you live in europe i suppose you could try eurobogu(dot)net. America go for bogubag(dot)com

[Filmskra]

I have a question...where can I buy some sheinais? (sorry if I spelled it wrong)

[FairZack234]

[Robbiebagga]

Im 18 years old, and LEFT handed.. I am wondering if i can flip my hands, and use the right hand on the "bottom-grip"?

[fulltimemedic]

@luisakakazuki dude my the students in my class are 40 and im 15 xD

[dcedilotte]

@DJEDI296 The grip does NOT change if you're left handed. It's stays the same.
