Andoru's Kendo Blog: May 2005
http://kikentai01.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 21, 2005. I was relieved when the Han Rim Won competition ended last Saturday. In truth, I didn't prepare for it. All these times since the nationals, my focus has been on overall improvement. Vivian has already written a post about the competition so I won't add much except a brief commentary about my matches. Well no more such compassion next time. It's a good point though. He asked us to think of nihonme and how kote-nuki-kote is performed. And ended up compromising maai and opening up m...

The story of my efforts at launching Kendo in Trinidad. Wednesday, May 23, 2007. It's been a while since the last post. The major development has been the granting by IKF/ZNKR of kendo equipment for T&T. I received news back in April/May that they were considering and were asking back then if we were able and willing. Of course there was no question! Check it out: http:/ kendo.ipmtt.net/event-ikf-donation.html. Posted by Eddy @ 2:57 PM. Phone call today from Japanese Embassy. Closing down the Chag dojo.

Kendo in Trinidad
http://kendott.blogspot.com/2007/05/class-size-levels-its-interesting.html
The story of my efforts at launching Kendo in Trinidad. Wednesday, May 23, 2007. Class size and levels. Start beginners classes on an additional day. The benefit is that there would be no pressure for time and this may be less intimidating to them. The disadvantages are a possible increase in rent, challenges in having some of the advanced guys to attend to give class instead of me at times, and less exposure to "real" kendo could lead to some demotivation. 6:30 - 7:30 Beginners. 7:30 - 9:00 Advance class.

Kendo in Trinidad
http://kendott.blogspot.com/2006/08/propertydont-think-its-going-to-work.html
The story of my efforts at launching Kendo in Trinidad. Wednesday, August 09, 2006. So the offered location couldn't be used during the week for most people. Weekend would be more possible because schedules are more flexible. but the problem would remain: our dojo would be called the "Inaka dojo" (in Trini the "bush dojo"). We already have trouble attracting enough people in central areas, how are we going to attract enough people for classes there? Here are some options:. Not sure what to do. Property v...

Andoru's Kendo Blog: Everyone deserves a fresh start
http://kikentai01.blogspot.com/2006/02/everyone-deserves-fresh-start.html
Tuesday, February 14, 2006. Everyone deserves a fresh start. I think it's safe to say, on reflection, that 2005 wasn't as good a kendo year as it could have been for me. Plagued by various injuries, PhD deadlines, girlfriend issues (and there were many), I'd lost some degree of motivation along the way. As John Locke said in Lost. Everyone deserves a fresh start.". Posted by Andoru at 5:07 pm. Good to see you back. See you at kendo.erm. sometime ; . Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
