Coming soon (i.e. when my finger heals and I hold a pen properly again): Yoshinorc and Aikifruitie stuff!

I would love to support the ShodoThug army. Unfortunately the shirts only come in white....and I really don't like white t-shirts (its just a thing I have ) If they start printing them on different colors I'll get one...maybe two

How much in Yen - I'll be at the grading can you deliver by hand.

Very creative - love it - especially the desktop layout - way cool. Keep up the great work.

Hail to Hori-San. Long life to Hori-San. Hope you get healed ultra quickly. Only question... I'm in M'sia how do I get my t-shirt if I want one?

Hi Brons,

I'm sure HoriSan can get it printed on a pink with floral motifs design for the Fruits. Me, I prefer Black.

I do to...it hides ki stains better. Although a nice mauve or puce might be ok

Bronson

Sorry guys... I work with what they give me, and there's no black clothing. They do have yellow, green, and pink however.

And for you beer drinkers... the Shodostein!

Pink! Would look great with my pink hakama!

I'ld rather have the stein - just can't imagine Nariyama Shihan catching me wearing the tee shirt.

Oooo, green is probably good. I see that now there is grey offered....grey might work. Although I'd like to see the green

Bronson

I might even consider the Stein

Pink with pink hakama?...
Wear did you get the pink hakama?...

Bryce

Wow! That's really cool! I'll buy one, even though my sensei will probably be stunned with "We don't need no stinkin' hakama" as we wear hakamas from 5-th kyu.

Hori san, how about Aikipixies (aka Iwama Ryu style)? I'm eager to buy one of those.

BTW, will I be admitted into Shodokan Honbu if I wear that t-shirt?

New products at the the Unofficial Shodothug Store include:

• The once requested green Shodothug t-shirt! (Happy Bronson? )
• Mugs! That's right! Mugs! For coffee! Or other beverages!
• The Shodothug mouse pad! Because you might as well have an aikido-themed mouse pad!

And now some reader mail...

BTW, will I be admitted into Shodokan Honbu if I wear that t-shirt?

Yes, but NEVER tell Nariyama-shihan where you got it.

I'm in M'sia how do I get my t-shirt if I want one?

This page will answer that question, my Malaysian friend!

Why are we offering you, the consumer, these new products? Because we, at the Unofficial Shodothug Store, are really bored because we can't practice aikido for another few weeks.

I'm sure Nariyama-sensei will find it very funny... No really, he has a great sense of humour.
I can even see him wearing one...

*grins evilly*

Off to order a mug... And T-shirts should be black dammit!!! The only four pieces of colour clothing I owe are my gi pants and jackets...

I agree but I think dark colors a more difficult to print on or something. Which may be why they don't offer it.

Bronson

You can do the Yoshinkan one really easy!

You don't need to change the front, just the back to "YoshinOrc Life", and "A proud practitioner of Yoshinkan Aikido!", plus instead of the Shodokan crest, an eagle with tallons bared would be cool (I can't say use the Yoshinkan crest, as I would get my wrist slapped )!

Now go and give us what we want!!! Very nice T-Shirt by the way.

Oh, and will we get the other stuff in YoshinOrc style too?

(Shameless begging!)

When ever my finger heals (the doc now says that it will be by the end of the year), and I can get around to drawing everything, than yes, kids, you can be the first on your block to own a Yoshinorc hoodie or Aikifruitie stein!

Speaking of that finger is it still bandaged up - do the x-rays still show a break?

The guy in my group who busted his foot playing table tennis around the same time is out of cast but still has a crack showing up on x-ray. He's out for at least another two weeks.

Si (OK I'll be a Yoshin-Orc)

Ah, a happy convert.

Yeah... to be honest, it looked worse to my untrained eye, but what do I know? The doc told me "Now.. only time". He also told me to get lots of calcium so I've been guzzling milk my the bucket load.

At least, I think that's what he told me... his English isn't too good and my Japanese is pretty bad, so between the two of us, I have a pretty good malpractice suit in the making

Don't worry Peter, I'll be around sometime in January to terrorize the locals!
