In my childhood and teenage years I tried a lot of different sports (swimming, orienteering, sailing, ...) and ended up with playing tennis for a few years. It was quite fun, but the ones I played were very boring at the end, and our club hated our group since noone had any ambitions to become a tennis-pro. So I quit when I was about 15-16 or so. Then I did nothing for three years but I knew I really should be doing some sort of exercise to keep my body in good health. When I was 18 I stumbled upon kendo by sheer mistake and loved it. Trained for one term and then had to do military service. Started the university this year and continued my kendo practise in my new home town, and now it got even more fun.
So from doing nothing for three years and bever really liked doing sports on my spare time, I know train kendo three times a week, and iaido two times a week.
Budo rocks!
