Hi all, just thought I'd mention I passed my first Iaido grading on the weekend after a 2 day seminar, only then to go for my first Kendo grading on monday night which I also passed. I would have posted sooner but after a long deserved whiskey I fell asleep and then was too sleepy to do anything the day after order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

What level are you? Off topic, I throw a mean machette, see if your coleagues will chop down a 20" tree in 5 minutes.

For Kendo it was an open Dojo grading not an international one. Gradings for both Iaido and Kendo are as follows:

6th Kyu
5th Kyu
4th Kyu
3rd Kyu
2nd Kyu
1st Kyu (Ikkyu)
1st Dan
2nd Dan
3rd Dan
4th Dan
5th Dan
6th Dan
7th Dan
8th Dan

For Kendo seeing as it was open Dojo grading it we could have been awarded anything bewteen 6th-2nd Kyu, I came out with 3rd Kyu which I was happy with seeing as I've only been training for a year and missed several sessions before the grading.

For Iaido it was a proper international grading so I was awarded with 1st Kyu (Ikkyu), I'll be goind for my 1st Dan grade (Shodan) in Iaido in March hopefully.

I don't think any of my coleagues would want to spoil their nice expensive swords chopping down wood abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

They can but they are worth it. I spent about $1000 on mine, it was a custom build (not sharp), I picked the fittings I wanted, the Tsuka wrap (hilt), length and weight of the blade and the Hamon pattern (water mark down the cutting edge of the blade).

Initially when getting a custom sword you want to go for all the flashy parts so it looks cool, but then you forget its a tool to do a job and you end up with something that is really hard to work with.
