Mixed Weapon’s Day before CNY

https://spkenjutsu.cca.sg/files/2014/01/20140125_111005.jpg

For those who weren’t around today for whatever reason like our webmaster who have to prepare for CNY, today is Mixed Weapon’s Day. Finally the day when the current juniors get to use something else other than choken.

Most favorite weapon of day ain’t a weapon though. It was a shield… Everyone was aiming regardless the fact that the pairing weapon is much more shorter than the kodachi

Most of the juniors probably couldn’t handle it due to them being used to the choken and dual-wielding and the lack of longer distance but good job to those who can especially our new QM who was around, being able to defeat a choken wielder with two short swords.

Reminder:
Since next week is CNY, please do not *I repeat* do not come for training.

On a side note though too bad we don’t know who pass grading today

It’s time to Job Advance!

Not taking the fact that I have been playing too much MMORPGs to give this post such a weird title, tomorrow is finally the big day especially for our juniors who are taking their first grading since they join us in the Freshmen Orientation. After this, they will most likely join us in their white Gi and red belt when they are given their first colored belt to prove that they pass the grading.
Since tomorrow is the grading itself here is the list of do’s and don’ts during grading.
  1. Don’t do anything stupid especially today, you don’t want to risk not taking the grading after you pay the fees.
  2. Do remember to cut your nails.
  3. Do remember the drink lots of water before going to bed. A word of warning though “If you need  to go, you better go”.
  4. Don’t forget to report early. You need to take attendance which is time-consuming.
  5. Do remember to bow when the announcer calls you name.
  6. Do what the announcer tells you to do. If he/she messes up the order, you still do what he says.
  7. Do get into seiza position when your row is going to start soon.
  8. Don’t laugh or jeer. That’s a given don’t you think.
Oh do take note, for those who did not pay fees last Saturday, please remember to bring it.
If you juniors still have question please feel free to ask your Senpai or Senseis, Preferably your Senseis first.

Short Introduction

A greeting to readers. I’m Ebenezer, a practitioner of SPKenjutsu, on behalf of the current committee,
I will be giving a short introduction on the activities or our club.

What do we do?
Simply, our club mainly focus on training in the art of Kenjutsu, a sword martial art which originated from the land of the samurai, Japan. Our training consist of learning, practicing and implementing a set of kata, techniques. These training are guided by our two caring coaches, Sensei Jim and Sensei Ain.

During lesson, protected sparring among our practitioners with equipment of global standard is also an usual basis in our weekly training with the sole purpose to further improve our progress in the art through first hand situation.

When and where do we train?
The trainings are held at the polycentre (above food court 3) every saturday and lesson will start at 9.30am sharp with a duration of one and a half hour.

Yours Sincerely,


Your friendly senior, Eben
