Joke: San Kyu (3 Kyu)

(About a month ago, in the Costa Mesa Kendo Dojo dressing room, just before the practice)

Richard R.:  Hey Lui, you just passed the rank promotion exam last week, right?  What kyu are you now?

Lui:  **San-Kyu (3 Kyu).

Richard R.:  You're welcome...

Kiju:  PUHA~!

**"San-kyu" is also a Japanese way of saying the English word "Thank you" with heavy Japanese accent.
