unc team..

this is pix of our dojo team.

tki intra-dojo shiai.

from nov. intra-dojo shiai. whole group at the shiai.. about 1/4 of the org.

parking hell..

i get to go to dojo once a week. i'm not complainting. that's one more than none. so.. last week, it was thanksgiving.. no practice.. this week.. i got there and no parking space within reasonable walking distance due to the ball game.. fencing tournament.. wrestling tournament.. urgh.. i drove around for 30 min.. every space avail.. they won't let me park. and i know this univ will tow my freaking truck if i park there.. sigh.. so i missed another practice.

i'm rather PO. but.. can't complaint..

good thing about our dojo is that it's non-profit org. the people who are teaching.. sensei.. and senior members are doing it out of love for the kendo.. not to pocket money. and since most of the folks are students.. transportation is an issue.. and money is another issue if we rent places. so.. sometimes it's rather hard to get to the practice. urgh..

oh.. bogu bag finally came.. dang. i didn't know leather bag could be this cool.. lol
