Ai'ight so my family sometimes houses Japanese Exchange Students while they to to school in America to learn the English language and study American culture. So this month we're having one stay. We thought he'd be in College age since he was going to be taught at U.W. (University of Washington), the State college. Turns out, he is only 14 years old, my age. He practices Kendo, which is Japanese fencing. They fight with Bamboo poles and Samurai-like suits! My friend introduced something to me and my whole scout troop called "Boffing". Boffing is like Kendo, but doesn't have as many rules. For weapons we use PVC pipe covered in two layers of plumbing foam, then wrap it all in Duct Tape. It would be better to show you, but essentially, they're amazing. Anyway, I'm thinking of Boffing with the new Japanese Student coming to our house.
His name is Owaki Yusuke (Japanese people put their last names first.)
