Long Lost Martial Arts Gear Returns to its Master!

So, i'm a practitioner of a martial art known as Shinkendo. Shinkendo is the martial art of traditional Japanese swordsmanship, founded by Toshishiro Obata in 1990. If you want to know more, check out The Home Dojo Website.

I used to have these sweet tabi boots and socks that I would wear during practice for ankle support. (click here for a good picture of a good pair of tabi boots) I lent them to a filmmaker friend of mine, assuming I would get them back.

That was two years ago.

Yet, suddenly, just shy of two weeks ago, dude was rummaging through his old room and, TADA! There they were, just how i had left them: nicely broken in and in good shape. Of course the socks were nowhere to be found, but what else would you expect from socks?

I'm in my third student rank, and am working towards testing for my fourth student rank in the fall.

I don't know what i'd do without Shinkendo.
