I Tried Kendo, Fought a Pro, and Attacked the Strongest Guy at My Job

Interesting and funny video about Kendo training for first timers, which is not as easy and simple as you think.

The Art of Peace 97

The Art of Peace can be summed up like this:

True victory is self-victory; let that day arrive quickly!

“True victory” means unflinching courage; “self-victory” symbolizes unflagging effort; and “let that day arrive quickly” represents the glorious moment of triumph in the here and now.

Detroit was big on kung fu movies. It was $1.50 to get in and lines were around the block. The Fox theater was the king of kung fu movies.

Honda Tadakatsu (本多忠勝, March 17, 1548 – December 3, 1610)Was one of the Tokugawa Four Heavenly Kings. It is said that he fought 60 battles and was never injured once.Tadakatsu fought with the legendary spear Tombo-Giri.The Tonbokiri (蜻蛉切) is one of three legendary Japanese spears created by the famed swordsmith Fujiwara Masazane, said to be wielded by the daimyō Honda Tadakatsu, a leading general of Tokugawa Ieyasu.The spear derives its name from the myth that a dragonfly landed on its blade and was instantly cut in two. Thus tonbo (Japanese for “dragonfly”) and kiri (Japanese for “cutting”), translating this spear’s name as “Dragonfly Cutter”.
