Can anyone tell me what the seven folds of the Hakama mean? In Japanese and English. 'Twould be a great help to me. My Sensei(s?)(do you put an 's' on sensei to plural it?) and Shihan are teaching me how to fold a Hakama and I want to know what the seven folds mean. Domo.
And another thing, does anyone here take Martial Arts? If so what kind?

I'm not quite sure myself, but I know it has something to do with the code of the samurai. I'd google it then get a seccond opinion.
I take martial arts myself, in a fairly new system called Tong Il Lo (Korean for "path to unity") which teaches us Aikido, Jujitsu, Kempo Karate, Muey Tai and Tai Kwon Do to give a well rounded approach to martial arts.
And as far as the plural of Sensei, it's just Sensei to my knowledge. I'm not even sure if Japanese has a plural case.

I want to learn Kendo and Kyudo.
Kendo is Japanese fencing. It means "the way of the sword". Swords used to be a main weapon in Japanese warfare for many centuries. They continued to be the symbol of the samurai into the 19th century.
Kyudo is the martial art of Japanese archery, literally meaning "the way of the bow". The bow had been used in Japanese warfare for many centuries. It also served as a hunting tool. Kyudo is a relatively popular recreational activity, practiced in kyudojo, special kyudo facilities found in schools, culture centers and the like. The bow used for kyudo is about two meters long, and stationary targets are located in a distance of either 28 or 60 meters.

I've always wanted to take a martial arts, but I don't think it's in my family budget. sad If I could choose one, though any would be nice, it'd deffinately be kendo. I find it magnificent. My dad has 2 shinai, bamboo swords, and a book on kendo cuz he used to take it himself, so I've been trying to teach myself, but it's really hard... and if no one is directing me, I tend to have a short attention span... go figure...

But when ever I do get enough money, I'm going to take lessons.
