I have just returned from a kendo weekend in Ireland and was impressed, to say the least, by the volume of comments, both on and offline, relating to my last two posts, that were awaiting my return. I was planning to follow up with a further poll on Iai and Kendo people’s perception of each other, but I have decided to hold that back until the Xmas pantomime season.
Richard Foster has stolen my thunder with an accurate summary of the preference poll. I will make no further comment , other than to add that I have no intention to defame any individual, living or dead. I don’t particularly like cricket, but it doesn’t stop me from enjoying Phil Tuffnel’s rhumba on Strictly Come Dancing.



So who is the Tuffnel of the BKA?
