not, but a thread in gendai gave me the idea. Someone asked about iaido, and one of the replies was to post it in the sword forum to get more replies to the topic (see the thread in gendai, if necessary). My first instinct was to say it was not getting many answers because koryu practitioners rarely "slide in the ooze" of gendai arts. Is it true that koryu practitioners really ARE snobs?
Anyway, I was thinking of kime no kata and goshin jutsu of Kodokan Judo (after all, the name itself describes what it really is) and the stick/sword, eg, nuki kake (unsheathing and defense of it) and kirioroshi and defense of this, although a stick is used and is what the SD is about, a sword could easily take the place of that stick.
I use a stick and cane for some of these purposes, but I have neve done, or have I ever known any judoka who may have used any type of ken (bokken or bakuto) for these kata. Anyone have any hands on experience with these waza as it relates to a sword?
This is where I begin to wonder whether this will die on the vine, or get me lots of hate mail for the koryu "slur."
