Zenister 0 #26 January 19, 2003 since ill be testing soon (well if work will give me time for seriously practice) for my shodan in kendo, have been fencing since i was 15 (currently D rated but have been as high as B) and have actually been foolish enough to participate in 3 duels when i was young and immortal (2 as primary 1 as a second, and only one cut from a short parry) that probably wont be very fair.. but i'm always up for a meditation in steel.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

(and the fact that many modern actors never learn how to fence as part of thier training.)____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
