Nothing, neither of the two kids/teens were kenshi at the time they started throwing there anvils on us, i think that one of them (Kumdostar) found a dojo/dojang, don't know if it's true though.

Well, as much as I want to say great keep it up, what you say is a bit shocking. California is such a wasteland that there's 3 kendo federations there, and 2 for So-Cal--SCKF and SCKO. I'm know members of those are active on the forums. Basically, I think it's a given that there's a lot more kendo dojo's out there than there are in most of the country.

Back to trying to be cheerful and encouraging...

Basics will be your problem for a while--just keep at it. I've been at it for about 7 months now. I was recently encouraged that it can take years to get the timing right so just keep at it. At this point, you should be learning how to walk and keep your posture correct. It was a rough month sliding the feet across the room over and over, but it got better... We got to chop air for 6 weeks after that. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif It's a slow road, just keep at it. There are no shortcuts to success.

Kumdostar found one all right. My old "Kumdo" McDojang. It's not even a legit dojang. Grrr... I live three blocks from that place. Makes me mad it's not legit... http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif

Yeah now i remember, is he still going there after you told him about your story?

Yeah. Can you believe that?? *sighhhh* I'm so glad I'm not there anymore.

Kaoru

I havent seen him on the forums. What happened?

hmmmmm, i'll be damned, guessed i missed this thread, I woke up this morning at looked in the mirror and screamed, I was japanese !! I even have a I.D card from the AUSKF saying I'm a member of Venice KENDO Dojo. Am I dreaming ? help Meeeeeee ..

WLA Dojo has been around for quite awhile, Kurukuru sensei started there, Uto sensei was there, Big furanku too, Mizobe sensei, Wendell.

so I dont know of any other WLA Dojo,

Park Sensei opened up his new dojo in La Habra, last month.
Kaoruif you still need info pm me.

You forgot CCKF. We have SCKF, NCKF, CCKF, SCKO

you'll be suprised at all the towns here in So Cal. There is Korea Town, Lil Tokyo, Okinawa Town, Thai Town, China Town..etc

Its like that movie. Was it Paycheck? Or the forgotten? Or secret window?

the "WLA" dojo tim is talking about must be the "LA" dojo that i think a few of the koreans that practice at chuo started up in koreatown. i dont know much more details so forgive me for the poor description.

and i remember park sonsaengnim's new dojo is called "ACE" dojo. cant forget a name like that...

I've been telling my sister-in-law that she's really a short irish girl with a dye job and a process for years now. She doesn't believe me.

Some people are in denial.

Interesting.. I thought one of the senseis from Sho Tokyo started a new dojo recently... And yes, the other one is called "Ace".

If you add an "m" and its the acme dojo! Known for portable holes and shinai you can tie in a bow knot! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gif
