Kaguya Pekoyama 9/3 near Recolle

Following the events of the last month, I've chosen to take up kendo to further my self-defense skills. Does anyone have any recommendations on good instructors in the city, or know anyone that I might be able to spar with? Any leads are appreciated.

you could probably figure out something better than shouting and whacking things with a wooden sword to defend yourself

or at least i hope you can

[saburai]

Kaguya Pekoyama I think you underestimate the effect a properly-wielded staff could have, much less a wooden sword.
Kaguya Pekoyama Perhaps I'll move on to actual swordsmanship afterward, but I believe this to be a good place to start.

[smize]

worried someone is going to cut something off with a real sword?

[saburai]

Kaguya Pekoyama No. I simply have my own reasons for starting with kendo instead.

[smize]

you gonna share with the class or?

[saburai]

Kaguya Pekoyama I would prefer not to. It's not something I am comfortable talking about as of yet.
Kaguya Pekoyama Regardless of my reasons, there's certainly no harm in hearing what options are available for picking up a new skill.

[smize]

there's still better options out there with more use than kendo tho

[saburai]

Kaguya Pekoyama Such as?

[smize]

knowing your way around a knife's probably not a bad idea, don't you think?

[saburai]

Kaguya Pekoyama It wouldn't be of much use when fighting off monsters, however.

[smize]

worked just fine for my friend

[saburai]

Kaguya Pekoyama Your friend is quite the risk taker.
Kaguya Pekoyama Personally, I'd prefer something less likely to get me maimed.

he is kinda an idiot
but he did save my skin back there, so even if it was stupid i'm glad he was stupid enough to try that

[saburai]

Kaguya Pekoyama That certainly does sound fortunate. I am glad the two of you are well.
