been out of dojo for some time. went back to it last week. friday's practice was rather hard. this week, i was at the dojo last night. no friday pracitce. last night's practice was rather fun. we had ton of new beginners. apparently, the recruit effort made on sunday night worked. we had about 20 new people. we didn't have enough spare shinai to cover everyone. we split the group in two and went over basics. i wonder how many will return next week.
