Old farts - New blood

Good class yesterday. Got there 15mns before class and there were already 5 guys warming up. That's how I like it! That's enthusiasm! Well everyone did god except the two older ones, one with just no motor skills and another overweight guy just coming out of a series of health trouble. Good for him, with all this on his back (was just diagnosed with diabetes) he still want to get better and he sees Kendo as a good way to keep himself mentally and physically fit. Except he doesn't breath properly and apparently thinks he's still 25! So after a few suburi he has to stop to breath because he whacks like a beast and he's beet red. But cheers to someone like that who has the right attitude and motivation.

Besides the "40-going-like-I'm-20" folks, most other guys are late teens, early twenties. And most learn so quick. It's really nice to see them go. They're also relatively well behaved. One thing's for sure: they can't wait to start wearing the bogu. And soon enough, they will...
