I would like to take this opportunity to highlight something. Today (2 Nov 2008), Zero was late in setting off from home. If he had taken the MRT, he would have been late for our training/sparring session. So despite being a youth without much source of income, he spent his own money to take a taxi down, just so he can be on time. Much appreciated commendable effort, attitude and sense of responsibility.
Well done, Zero!

Swordsmanship Workshop
Location: Anchorvale CC
Address: 59 Anchorvale Road, Singapore 544965
Venue: Hall, 2nd level
Time: 7.30pm to 9.30pm
Nearest MRT: Sengkang MRT Station
Nearest LRT: Farmway LRT Station
  AAR Report: Small and enthusiastic turn out, with an Aikido practitioner among us. The good thing about a small group is that everyone gets to train and learn more. For once, we get to train and spar in a rather dark-setting, which would mean less reliance on visual input. Eager bunch, with people once again asking if this is a longer-term course. Our application is in processing, so hang on, it's coming soon!
Special Thanks to:
- Zero, for coming to my house to help carry the swords and gears.
- Norman, for making the extra effort to join in, even after a whole tiring day of studying
Thanks guys!

Simon's flight to Australia is this Sunday, 19 Oct 2008, 6.10pm.
Simon has been one of the backbone of our group. One of the more hardworking and regularly attending ones around. Furthermore, he has gone out of the way to help promote our group to his friends, and not to forget, bringing the spare helmet down for you guys. Let's wish Simon a safe journey and all the best in Australia.
Anyone wanna go to the airport to send him off together, please contact me. Thanks!

Demonstration
Location: Taman Jurong Community Center
Address: 1 YUNG SHENG ROAD, Singapore 618495
Venue: Meet near registration/information office
Time: 10.35am (Be there at 10.10am to get prepared)
Nearest MRT Station(s): Lakeside MRT


Lunch on me for those who help out. ;-)

After-Action Report:
  The demonstration was a tremendous success, with the CC staff really eager to put us on stage. I started off with a brief introduction about what we do, and the equipment (RSW) that we use, followed by a little information on Japanese weapons. Greg then continued with an introduction of his mainly European arsenal, along with his brand new Claymore which just arrived the day before.
  Protective gears were put on, and we showcased a series of mixed-weaponry sparring to the audiences. Final fight was Caili with Katana and Wakizashi, facing Greg who put his new Claymore to a fight for the very first time. I gave a short ending speech, assuring the audience of the pain-issue.
  As I was stepping off the stage and clearing away the swords, one of the CC staff went up stage, helping to promote our activity, and wondering about the pain-issue. I picked up the Katana and went up stage again to physically let him know how it feels like by hitting him on the forearm.
  As we proceed to our designated space for sparring and for public members to try out, there was a Wushu performance on stage. We stood and watch for several minutes, after which we approached them and had a friendly sparring session with the CC's wushu training group!
Special Thanks to:
- Greg, for bringing down his entire arsenal down again and his ever-sportiveness which brought much life and spirit to our group
- Caili, for coming down to my house and help to bring the swords to the CC
- Haoyu, for coming down when it's the stressful exam periods.
- Norman, for coming just in time to join in the demonstration! =D
- and last but definitely not least, Simon for bringing down an extra helmet so that interested people may try out
The demonstration is a great success because of you guys. Thank you all so much!

Just something to share here. In this video from Hong Kong, Lancelot's weekly sparring videos, you can see that Lancelot sparred with someone who turned up with his own home-made sword and it broke within 3 of Lancelot's strikes. Tells you something about quality here.

    I don't usually watch much anime, but I came across this title which was recommended by someone in a Kendo forum. The anime title is "Sword of the Stranger". Turns out to be a really awesome anime, with fluid animations and swordplay. You can watch it on Crunchyroll.

    Greg had the distinguished privilege of becoming the first owner of an RSW Expert Grade Sabre.
    Features:
    - double-edge tip (great for winding up behind and cutting your opponent's back)
    - complex hilt design which protects the fingers/wrist/forearm from downwards, forwards, upwards attacks! O.O"
    - slimmer blade design for extra realism, and also extra pain.
