OUCHIES!

AHHH! its good to be back home relaxing after a serious training session! Damn, Sir James, my instructor sparred with me and another new guy in training today and our objective of the match was to hit the opponent's head with a basic strike called "man!". And he is freaking fast! Before i knew what was happening, i was hit twice on the head and my poor head is still aching from the hits! haha! bur pain is good! it makes you learn and keeps you alert. Ohhhh! got a new toy today, its my first boken! or the wooden version of a katana~! FoOoO! It feels great to have one of my own now, so i can keep up the practices! Yeah! OKOK, my body is aching right now so... Gonna end it here! Anyways, all you ppl take care aiight? Till my next posting. Ciaoz!

PS:
JY, Sorry I scratched you today! Hope the injury wasn't too bad!

Hmmm new stuff!

WELLL, its been bloody ages since i came back to this blog. wahahah. hmmm i guess i've just been preoccupied and too darn lazy! oops! wahahah! ANYWAY, I have great news! For all who know how much i have always wanted to join a martial arts, particularly kendo, guess wad?! I have joined CHANBARA!!!!! FOOOOO!!!! Its a damn good sport la! Absolutely love it! Its kinda like kendo where instructors teach you how to properly use a weapon and in this case, its the Japanese short sword or kodachi. I'm also learning the Choken or the long sword, closely resembling the Japanese Katana! Its my absolute passion! I also get to learn Kendo through this sport! ALRIGHT! hahah! Its such a great outlet for stress thats been pent up and kept deep inside! Hmmm wanna know more? Okay! What we basically use as life-size models for the actual swords are really swords made of dense foam. So when you get whacked real hard, it doesn't really hurt! How cool is that?! wahaha! I'm so happy cos it also keeps me fit and teaches me about discipline, honour and most importantly, respect! Well i could go on and on about chanbara but i don't think i will, because i don't feel like i'm doing the sport justice through my description. So all i can say is that you have to try it to believe me! hahaha! SO cannot wait for saturday to come! And hey, just to sound a lil BHB, i'm pretty good at this! haha even beat a senior during sparring! YAAAAHOOOOOOO! haha! oh wells, till next time guys and gals! Cheers!
