Last winter I started fencing, and I was really into swords and whatnot. At this point I had no idea kendo existed. When summer came, I had to go home from school, so I needed to find a place to fence at home. All the fencing places were at least a 45 minute drive and unreasonably expensive.

While I was searching the internets for fencing places, I found out about this thing called kendo, which was apparently the Japanese version of fencing. I watched a few videos of people doing it and decided that it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. I made my way to the AUSKF website and found a dojo very close to where I live and extremely reasonably priced. I was also lucky enough to find a dojo near where I go to school after summer was over. I enjoyed it so much during the summer that even if I couldn't find a dojo close to my school, I would commute 2 hours to my home dojo. I'm glad I don't have to do that.
