Convalescence in the kilt

[Kid Cossack]

What martial art do you study? I study Shotokan karate and Jiujitsu myself. I practice kata in my yard with my basket hilt. My neighbors think I'm crazy. Insanity- it's better than any home security system!

Nighthawk:

What type of basket hilt do you have? I'm trying to narrow down my options, rooting around at the Sword Buyers' Guide forums going over the merits of Hanweis, Windlasses, Cold Steel (as an outside choice) or going with a custom made basket to put on my Valiant Armoury ATrim designed arming sword.

Sigh. Choices!

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

I practice Wing Chun kung fu and that's part of why I had my eyes fixed: to be able to see my opponents better!

Wool -- the wonder drug!

Wool -- it does a body good!

Congratulations on the good recovery. Do you think you could get your doctor's endorsement? Maybe a prescription for a kilt?

That would be brilliant if I could get a prescription for a kilt based on this experience... and even better if my benefits would pay for it! I'm saving my pennies for a 4 yard box pleat from Keltoi but it's taking far too long on a student budget

Did not weat my kilt last winter after hernia surgery. The kilt would have been right across my incision. But hope the recovery continues well.

I have a Hanwei. I do like it.

Nice! I don't know much about the kung fu styles aside from what my sensei has told me. He studied ( I think) tiger style is what he said. So- how are the eyes doing?

[Kid Cossack]

Thanks, Nighthawk.

Thanks, Nighthawk.

No problem. I'm not sure of the temper of the blade, though- weather it's right for blade on blade contact. I haven't tried that. I just use it more for the weight, to build the strength in my arm. And it's worked like a charm!

I am positing that the wool kilt was the key to what my doctor says is an above average recovery. Anyone else have similar experiences? Healed by the kilt I say!

Welcome to the club !




Get well !

So- how are the eyes doing?

My eyes are doing much better, thanks. I'm still having trouble doing things like reading though, and so my computer is zoomed in to make the letters really big. This week was the fall midterm break from classes and I'm hoping to be back in form by Monday...

Add a blue ribbon and it looks more like a recovery from the night before than from eye surgery. Best of luck on your recovery. And come out to some SOKS events and get more pics like this.
