Hoho, it’s been a while since the last update. My exams have just ended yesterday. So, now im taking the time to chill a little. Well, i guess it’s really the time now to talk about the CCA im attending in NYP. It is none other than kendo. Joined the CCA late june i think(can’t remember =x) due to my guitar lessons that clash with kendo’s timing. But unexpectedly my guitar lessons ended due to the lack of students, thus they had to dissolve the class. Dissolve meaning no more class, not soaking students in acid xD ok please ignore the random statement =.=
Anyways, back to kendo.. It’s one heck of a CCA and of course no regrets joining as i have all along wanted to join this great CCA. This i honestly say is the first ever martial art i have taken up. It requires heck load of discipline, patience, training, perserverence and hard work. Met a lot of new friends, learnt a lot about kendo and trained a lot. “
Kendo (剣道 kendō?), or “way of the sword“, is the martial art of Japanese fencing. Kendo developed from traditional techniques of Japanese swordsmanship known as kenjutsu.
Kendo values with sporting-like physical elements. is a physically and mentally challenging activity that combines strong martial artsPractitioners of kendo are called kendoka (one who practices kendo) or kenshi (swordsman).
Kendo is “played” by kendoka, wearing traditionally styled clothing and protective armour (bogu), using a shinai or two as weapons. Kendo may be seen as a Japanese style of fencing. The movements in kendo are different to European fencing because the design of the sword is different, as is the way it is used. Kendo training is quite noisy in comparison to other martial arts or sports. This is because kendoka use a shout, or kiai, to express their spirit and when a strike or cut is performed, the front foot contacts the floor in a motion similar to stamping.
Around eight million people world-wide practice kendo with approximately seven million in Japan.
Kendo is one of the Japanese budo and embodies the essence of Japanese fighting arts.
This should give the basic gist about kendo =]
Can’t wait for my bogu to arrive xD. Cant wait to spar too!!
Moving on, after my purchase of the mustang, i had a few things that had to be set right.
Won’t go into much details. So i decided to pay uncle Beez a visit. Now, for those that do not know, he is THE man to approach all things guitar/bass. He has been working in this sector for more than 40 years if my sources are right heh. So if you need changing of parts, maintainence etc, he is the man to seek. He does things so professionally!!
Changed the stock pups(pickups) on the guitar to a set of Seymour Duncan Cool Rails. Really hot pair of pups if i should say so myself. The tonal properties are much more wide now and the sound has really opened up. 2 words…FUCKING SWEET!!
Can’t wait to jam with this mighty stallion. mmm She is really beautiful now =]
And so now starts the 1.5 month long break. Wonder if there’s any gigs to do…haha
Many things will be happening actually, weekly kendo trainings and kendo camp o.0 woot.
I pray my results will be okay.
I guess that’s pretty much i can really blog about now xD
Cheers.
