Hello everyone, my name is Kiseiki. I'm female, 20 years old, and a very unlikely candidate for the martial arts. I'd like to tell a brief history just so people can become more familiar with me. Don't worry, it won't take up much time. ^_^
I've been interested in martial arts and Japanese culture as long as I can remember. My parents would never sign me up for classes because I am a girl. My little brother studied Tae Kwon Do for awhile, but he didn't like it. Even though I begged to take it, no one would allow me to. When I turned 18 and entered college, I took a class on Karate-do offered by the school. I was in it for one semester, and then I switched to Kenpo Karate. Misfortune kind of likes to follow me around; I had to quit going to that school as well, which resulted in a string of payments that I had to make regardless of being able to attend classes. It made me sad, because that tiny little dojo at the intersection of Glenstone and Sunshine streets had the most wonderful atmosphere of any dojo I have ever been to. I really do miss it and the people that attended there.
Right before I turned 19, I met the person that would later become my best friend. He told me about a little dojo he attended in his home town, and he asked permission from the sensei to start teaching me things that could determine my aptitude for their martial art. I am delighted to say that I passed every test that was ever thrown at me, and both this friend of mine and his sensei welcomed me into my favorite martial art to this very day--Iga Ryu Ninjutsu.
Shortly after I was accepted, my sensei did some research on me and I was dubbed "Kiseiki". My friend's name is "Tousou", and we are currently considered partners. I adore my Iga Ryu Ninjutsu. I'm not so good with taijutsu due to lack of training, but I study the other side of it very dilligently. I know many of you will be skeptical about me and my training. That's alright with me. You've all got a right to question some yahoo that just showed up out of nowhere on the internet. All I can do is answer questions about my own training very truthfully, and hope that I am accepted as I am. I hope that I can earn people's trust and faith in a steady manner, so that in time I may interact with you all on a less stressful level than right now. I am...pretty nervous. ^_^;
And...I am searching for other members of the various ninjutsu schools. If my name sounds familiar, I would very much appreciate a note or something. My association is pretty close-knit, which is why I'm asking. 99% of you will have never seen me before, so please don't think I'm trying to act big! ^^; I look forward to interacting with you all here!
