Hello everyone...My name is Shonen

My name is Shonen. I have been playing Stw for about two years now. But I had no idea that there was such a massive online community.
I have studied Kendo for nearly 10 years now. And for those who don't know, Kendo is the way of the Japanese sword...the Way of the samurai.
But long before I found this came I became somewhat of an novice war historian, concentrating mainly on the sengenko period in japan. This was ideed, what led me to kendo and the ways of old. The ways of honor and the way of the warrior.
I consider myself to be quite skilled in the ways of war and have achieved at least some level of mastery in stw.
However, I am constantly impressed by the level to which the members of this forum in particular have refined the playing of this beautiful game.
I believe I have much to offer to you, but more importantly, I believe you all have even more to offer me.
With all respect,
Shonen
