what do you do to a stubborn newbie?

when partnering him/her, pretend to fail a technique when sensei is walking by, during nikkyo or yonkyo variations

what do you do to make people join the dojo?

everyone should pretend to execute their technique effortlessly while chatting with each other and the uke helps by flying several metres away, yelling terrifiedly all the way

what do you do to avoid being called by the sensei during session?

breathing heavily after each technique, loosen your belt and start fixing it, hold your arm limply and pretend to nurse it, or just avoid eye contact. ( these tricks are not 100% guaranteed - they're not workable with sadistic senseis )

How do you make your arm unbendable?

let the tester try bending someone else's first

What's so good about hakamas?

they're black.. didn't you watch matrix?

why woodens swords?

recycleable

why are hakamas so expensive?

seven pillars of budo

Why only seven?

how much more are you gonna pay for a hakama?

why shouldn't all newbies wear hakamas from the first day?

they're expensive

what's the best thing about wearing a hakama?

if you fail a technique, it's because you trip on your hakama

anyone?

The road is long...
The path is steep...
So hire a guide to show you the shortcuts
