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.

If you find anymore information, let me know.

I'm planning on learning how to defend myself as well.

Kaguya Pekoyama Many of those who have commented already have left helpful suggestions.
Kaguya Pekoyama It may take me a little while to get through them personally, but you may find something that fits what you are looking for in there.

I sure hope so.

After what happened last month, I really don't want to feel like I'm helpless again.

Kaguya Pekoyama It sounds like a good goal to aspire to.

Thank you, I really do intend on making myself better!

Do you want to learn how to fight as well?

Kaguya Pekoyama I already know karate, but I found hand-to-hand combat rather ineffective against the various monsters that were present.
Kaguya Pekoyama So I am hoping to expand my repertoire by learning how to wield a weapon as well, as that seems more promising.

Any weapons you're thinking about?

I was thinking of something similar myself, I don't think I can handle hand to hand combat!

Kaguya Pekoyama I was going to start with kendo, and then perhaps move on to swordplay after that.
Kaguya Pekoyama But we shall see what happens.

Wow, you must be pretty strong if you can handle kendo and swords at the same time!

Although, I shouldn't be surprised when you know martial arts!

Kaguya Pekoyama Well, I'm not sure if I'd want to attempt them at the same time...
Kaguya Pekoyama It would depend on how quickly I'm able to pick up the first, I imagine.
Kaguya Pekoyama Nevertheless, you shouldn't be discouraged from learning to defend yourself based on how long it might take.

I suppose not.

Although, it would be problematic knowing that I'll have to balance time between this and college now too!

Kaguya Pekoyama You'll have to find a schedule that works for you, I suppose.

It would be tough when I'm in computer engineering though!

Kaguya Pekoyama It's your choice, either way.
