You know you are addicted to Kendo if...
 

Heya... I started Kendo a couple of months ago but it really occupies my mind (I am glad I found this forum) so I decided to make a top ten list - I am not yet in bogu but I KNOW I will threat my armor with respect (n.3). http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/laugh.gif

Hopefully I will find out I am not alone - feel free to add to the list and don't forget to include numbers. If this thread already exists, I ask the moderator to merge it please. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/rambo.gif


Here it goes. You know you are addicted to Kendo if:

1- You haven't made your bed OR washed your underwear in 2 months... but your hakama is neatly folded and your shinai oiled to pefection.

2 - Whenever the annoying guy at the office comes to your desk, you hold a pen on your left side next to the waist at a 45 degree angle; your left thumb covering the pen cap.

3 - The 3 guys who carpool with you to the dojo must ride the back seat. The front is reserved you your bogu bag and shinai. ^^

4 - You see the hachidan sensei arriving in his SUV then scracth your head, thinking, "I guess he hasn't learned how to teleport... yet."

5 - Las week you told the cop, "I didn't know it was against the law. I will never swing my SHINAI at the park again" - today you are going to the park... with your bokuto.

6 - Your nephew is swinging at a piñata. You stop the music and gather ALL the kids at the party to lecture them on the importance of Ki-Ken-Tai-no-Ichi

7 - You take your girfriend to the movies. There is just ONE seat available. You tell EVERYBODY to move to the right because you have been doing Kendo for longer than anyone else there.

8 - Your co-workers think you are crazy because whenever you pass them at the hall you assume Zanshin and look at them with the intent to kill.

9 - When people raise their right arm to high five, you slap their bellies at full force and yell: DOoooo.

10 - You live alone but the girl next door thinks you have three kids: KOTE, MEN and DO.

Yes, it's been done before...

I like 2, 4, and 7 !

i found 9 and 10 really funny

nothing like a fresh approach to a godd and ols subject.

enjoyed them all

Well...I still don't see what's wrong with #8.

I always look at my co-workers that way but I don’t think it has anything to do with kendo.

Finished the thread today... thanks Paikea. I can't believe some people read the entire thing in one sitting. I guess I am not that si... errr, I mean dedicated yet. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/laugh.gif

Starting Saturday I will be practicing at a dojo 3 times a week. ^^ as opposed to twice a week. yay!
