Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Shiro7 - Well, the plan right now is to start Kendo when I go back to university in September. I wanted to start this summer, but I was in an accident at work, and I'm still not able to walk properly. I'm hoping by September, I'll be good enough to start classes. I searched for a Dojo using the dojo forum, and the CKF webpage. It seems like the only CKF dojo in Waterloo (where I'm going to school) is the UofW Kendo Club. I go to WLU, but hopefully I can still attend the kendo club. Otherwise, my hopes will be dashed... until next summer. So I guess I'll be going there.

I'm really excited, and I bought my kendogi and Hakama already. I'm so tempted to buy the bogu, but after reading the forum, it looks like I wont be needing it until next year. Alright, Later

[Allbrunette]

Hold off on bogu 'till sensei says to buy it.

[esenesesinas]

And show up to your first class in sweats, just like everybody else.

Oopps....I went to my first class with hakama and kendogi. Felt kinda stupid being the only smurf in the class..... Oh well, a month later every one had proper attire.

[irrawnWab]

thanks. I would have shown up in kendogi and hakama...Hahaha. This forum really is saving me in all sorts of ways.

[Crilosajsamq]

Don't be surprised if they don't let you wear them for a month or two. We like to be able to easily correct footwork in new students.

[repldoinfo]

Awesome! I'm content with that. I just bought it now while I'm still in Toronto, since there aren't any stores in Waterloo; that I have been able to find. On top of that, it would be killer on gas if I had to drive from Waterloo to Toronto to pick up a uniform, with the price of gas being at over $1/litre now! Time to buy a diesel... or a hybrid.
