Yeah, pretty much

Usually students don't start schools.. usually teachers start them...
You can't find a school near your town?

Can someone post more information about kendo? Someone just some cool kendo videos or something. I have seen a few on youtube, but very few where impressive.

I live in Toronto/Canada. I've been playing Kendo for ten years now and basically hold the bottom of the class in my club.
Kendo in Toronto is excellent compared to anything outside Japan or Korea. There are two eight Dan Sensei that come to our club and numerous seventh dan Sensei. If you don't understand what that means, you don't understand good quality kendo.
Kendo in japan varies from crappy public Dojos to Dojos that YOU WOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO PRACTICE IN.
For foreginers wanting to practice Kendo in Japan you will likely either be totally ignored or nearly killed for daring to visit some clubs. Even if you have an endorsement from your sensei. Frankly, unless you are playing at a national level you should forget it.
There are some groups that arrange kendo visits comprised of foregniers for the sole purpose of kendo. This is a little more accepted. Kinda like a tour bus of crappy white guys (lol!) Ask your Sensei or a Sensei in your community about it.

If you want good videos of Kendo on Youtube. (and there are tons) Use words like Best, Champion, Finals, All Japan Kendo Championship, World Kendo Championship. Once you have learned a little more you can start typing in specific names of the best players and sensei. Don't overlook Korea also. Their Kendo/Kumdo is second only to Japan.

Wow why didn't i have kendo when i was younger it will spare me sop much time to kick ass those who chalange me but still i didn't have much problem kicking them even without kendo.
Come to Serbia to one of our shool you see real art of fighting.
Fight till he is down and when his friends come 8 on 1 you say:
i do not need to kick you all i need to kick you who bring them leader.
i do not now why but they all run from me lol
maybe because am 1.90cm, 120kg and have so nice personality xD

I want to do Kendo. I was thinking of starting a Kendo club here in my tow but, I wasn't sure of the rules and with no real teacher, it would just be guys in armor hitting each other with sticks, right?

Hopefully one day I can learn this discipline to share with my kids...
