Meetin the honorable Shirai Sensei...

If there could be a word to summarise the experience, the word would be jolly kewl... Sensei has taught us much and shown us more, by example, what leading a life as a gentleman truly means ;) It's been inspiring, and the whole experience truly humbling...

Our club fared well at the 1st Singapore Sports Chanbara Tournament 2005... we all learnt a great deal and improved tremendously in the past week training under Shirai sensei. All in all, we've got lots to do to bring up the overall training standard in Singapore, if we are to compete in the international tournament in Japan, this year end.

There's a saying which states, "it reflects poorly to have both the weakest and strongest amongst one's ranks, for it shows an underlying lack of unison; for instead of flaunting superiority, the strong should assist the weak... for indeed does the true strength of an army lie in each of its members' fighting spirit."
