Bokken!

It turns out my parents aren't complete tight-asses as I had so far perceived them to be. Just this Friday I got myself a surprise in the mail, in the form of a bokken. For those of you playing at home, a bokken is a wooden sword, which is shaped and weighs much like the real thing. And because it's substantially shorter than my shinai, it means that I can do suburi indoors instead of out in the rainy cold. I know, the latter would have 'built character' but all its doing right now is making me sick.

So to mum and dad, I say, thank you. And keep em coming.
