Tournament practice / sparring tonight...
New sword day - the arming sword on the bottom I had to get for a tournament next weekend, compared to a renaissance period sidesword from the same forge.
Just got a new training partner for fencing.
I got my zekken (nameplate) for the tare (the apron, part of the kendo armor set); feels more official now.
I've been enjoying learning a new physical skill where the terminology and lots of the instruction is in a language I don't speak.
Just got remind it's moon landing day - Apollo 11 landed on the moon on July 20, 1969.
Tall tree.
Went for a hike today.
Passed my kendo beginner exam tonight, I got some good feedback on it. Now comes a lifetime of learning it more.
