Hello, Im new to the forum. I have enjoyed it greatly so far, though I fear I might risk the appearance of trolling. I'm on spring break currently and have a lot of time to kill at night. I currently attend GMU, and have practiced a number of styles in the 19 years I have practiced. I enjoy learning the art for its own sake. I have done is since a week after I turned 4, and am currently 22 now.

I am not religious, but if I had a spirituality, I would say it is martial arts. I am not a fanatic, or obsessed. I treat it with the same respect I believe a person would their own personal beliefs, and I try to respect others.

I am judgemental, because I feel time wasted is time lost when something conducive could have been done. I hope to have many good conversations with the people of this forum, who have proven very sharp witted in my own opine. I hope my writing skills in relation to the forum improves over time, so bear with me if how I type seems a bit off.

I think you should just try to speak a bit more simply.
A bit more direct maybe .
Your only 22 but you speak like somebody that's from 1882.

Sorry mate I'm an Aussie we are pretty direct , a bit too direct sometimes.
We are so lazy with words that we abbreviate them even when they've already been abbreviated.

Curious, in your profile you mention kendo and kenjitsu. What kenjitsu school did you practice? The JSA community tends to be quite small, I may know your sensei.

Hey while you are at it, could you look up Troy DeHart? He's my uncle. Been trying to find him for a while.

I was with NOVA Budokai before it was handed off and became what it was today, when it still utilized the cherrydale fire department and GMU campus.

Let's try this again.

Ken asked what Kenjutsu school (ryu) did you practice, and who with, not about your Kendo. And I have to say, I'm pretty curious myself.

So, which Kenjutsu Ryu did you study, and with who? For how long?
