Chanbara = Sword competition

Today was a great learning experience of how to use the sword. It was very enjoyable, even though the techniques were more challenging than anything we've learned up to this point.

My first day in this class was boring and tiresome, as Sensei introduced us to more about the history of martial arts and how many came to be sport.  I am now very interested in martial arts and I'm looking forward to taking lessons in the future.
