Will they come in different styles, such as Navy Blue and white, and can they be worn as a casual shoe? I look to you reply.

Bah! So the rest of us are what..not good enough for sports just because we are right handed ? You don’t say…er…come one they have more easiness because their arm is at the same side of a “rightie”.

Flatter shoes, although not as good for your knees, that give better grip and mor stability are what are needed. it looks like a trainer os will pobably feel like a normal running shoe during use which isn’t what is needed.

Nike need to take a lesson from adidas in their style design. Think how ugly a high top shoe would look!

]]> Comment on Historical Fencing vs. Kendo by Charles http://blog.fencing.net/historical-fencing-vs-kendo/18/#comment-596 Charles Wed, 07 Nov 2007 23:27:59 +0000 http://blog.fencing.net/historical-fencing-vs-kendo/18/#comment-596 I've seen this video before (on youtube). It's fun to watch, but I don't think it rates as interesting. The skill levels of both men don't seem to be all that high, and there's nothing to indicate what assumptions they're fighting under. The kendo doesn't look very high level, though not knowing what the kendoka's goals were, hard to tell. And while I have no experience with Western sword, the "fencer" doesn't impress me as having a lot of formal training. I'd say that the video is more an example of the individuals involved instead of the arts they're trying to use. I’ve seen this video before (on youtube).
