Saturdays on Defend

[treelizard]

hey jubaji, i ended up watching a wrestling tournament today. fun stuff.

[Hardball]

Sword drawing, great. I gotta up the numbers on my crunches this weekend.

[Hardball]

I do a thousand crunches at a time and a thousand kicks in two hours but I'm gonna have to cram in the fall because my pace has been sporadic. Catch you young bucks tommorow, it's Miller time. LOL J/K.

[Garland]

Believe it or not, an iaido class. Yup. I officially start tomorrow. Talk about fish out of water...

just so long as it's not a kiai class.

Should go for kendo...it seems like a bit more fun... If you want to chop down tatami mats...why not just chop some wood instead?

[jubaji]

Don't get defensive about it baby, or you're missing half the point!

[treelizard]

How you can do iaido in a city where there's Parkour is beyond me...

Nice! What kind of tournament was it?

[jubaji]

Well, the how is easy. You just go to the school, talk to the instructor, and sign up for lessons...

So anyway, what style of Iaido are you studying?

[jubaji]

Are you interested because you're hoping to offer some insights, or because you want to aid them in their plentiful criticism?

No, because I do a little Eishin-Ryu myself.

are you guys sure you arent just trying to live out your childhood fantasies that have been cultivated and fueled by many years of watching hollywood martial arts movies and older kung fu flicks from the 70s ??

[jubaji]

Keep inhaling, Cheech.

[Garland]

No shame in that. The Wu-Tang condones it.

There's more than one kind?

[jubaji]

There's more than one kind?
