Funny in my judo club in France absolutely nobody cares about Japan (except for me) but when I practiced kendo it was like a weeb convention

That's the reason I stopped training kendo after two weeks. I thought it was a cool sport, but holy shit the other white people were weird af to the point it ruined the sport for me.

Can confirm, I know a kendo coach for a London University club, they told me some new students turned up to their first kendo practice in full cosplay.
