I walk like a duck.

Coming up on 5 years in kendo, I cannot get my left foot to stay straight once I start moving. It is everything I can do the get it to point straight forward once I stop moving again. I finally asked a podiatrist about this as he examined my right foot regarding the kendo-associated plantar fasciitis.

He diagnosed me with bilateral femoral retroversion, w/ abducted foot, aka "out toe" and gave me a note to that effect.

Maybe they will take pity on my left foot when I test for ni-dan if I give them my doctor's note?

Anyone else walk like a duck and have a medical note to justify it at exam time?
