Kendo


Yeap. I'm going to learn kendo soon. Probably after SPM. It's what my daddy wants me to do. haha I'm excited too I must say. To be able to protect myself and everyone around me :) To those who wonder what kendo is :

Kendo (剣道, kendō), meaning "Way of the Sword", is a modern Japanese martial art of sword-fighting based on traditional Japanese swordsmanship, or Kenjutsu. Kendo is a physically and mentally challenging activity that combines strong martial art values with sport-like physical elements.

Interesting huh? I love martial arts. but according to daddy, taekwando or any other typical martial arts won't really help you (sorry akmal!). According to him, people nowadays will attack using a cleaver or a machete. So unless you learn kendo or silat, you won't be able to protect yourself. ahha And since I love sword fighting so much, my dad decided to enroll me in kendo classes. In pj I think. Or was it KL? Can't wait :)

As a girl with japanese heritage, I'm going back to my roots now!. I'm starting to see myself as Mulan (disney movie). haha! :p


More about this when I actually start the classes.


Love,
Ciya.
