I have jumped onto blogger and looked back towards my last post. Whoaaa!
Way behind here. First an
update. I recently came from
Lloydminster down to Medicine Hat, then back to Grande Prairie, and now in Weyburn
Saskatchewan. It has been extremely long
drives, and tight time lines to get back and forth across the province dealing
with equipment break downs and foul weather. My schedule will be to complete
work here this Wednesday, drive to Grande Prairie to pick up a trailer and on to
Grande Cache for Death Race check-in on Friday.
Following that, back to a small job in Redwater, up to High Level, then
back to Grande Prairie. I won’t be
likely around the Kwoon any time soon, which is a shame.
One issue I am running into this year;
Walk to a park with a Katana, and you get some very strange looks and
potentially a ticket for public mischief.
True, some of the problem can be avoided with a switch out to a bokken,
but I really would like to get some reps in with my weapon. I hate being in the closet with weapon
practice, but the truth is, being in various unfamiliar locations across the
province, it is very difficult to find a location that is private and safe for
weapon practice. Any thoughts on this?

After a bit of thought, the closet might be your best bet!
ReplyDeleteWalk softly and carry a big stick? Can you practice out on the leases where there aren't as many people? Barring that, make friends with police officers--then they join you and its all ok:)
ReplyDeletehey!!! vince nice to read yah. this is just an idea but maybe it might work. i don't know if you already do this, but maybe practice in your uniform, that way people will just think your a crazy super awesome martial artist who is practicing and maybe have a little audience. so any weirdness you feel you might feel means it will probably be good for you, just means your pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. which i think is a good thing. so chow for now and i hope thing keep going for you :)
