Apologies Colin, but this is one that I've always liked ...
(As an aside to the Miami Komei Jyuku, this is a really large sword.)

Thats spooky...the sheer intensity, the zanshin...makes one feel a little timid.

I have to ask this of Mr. Hyakutake!
re: the ultra dango-sticker:
How many years does it take before your arm-muscles stop feeling like they are going to jump off your body? (Seriously)!
I mean my arms get tired using my larger than normal iaito, that thing just looks like...oWe!

That's it, either E-Budo makes their edit times longer, or I need to stop drinking brewskies and posting. Neither of which will happen, mind you.
Hehehe. Come on Russ let's not make fun of the kodachi falling. But you can make fun of the noto.Originally posted by Mekugi
Hey Steve, don't ya think there is something wrong with that picture? I mean, I don't see a kodachi on the floor anywhere....

But I think the main thing is to go out and find something bigger, heavier and in the case of choken longer and go work on it. I warm up with large suburito with just the fingers now. I also try and do one handed stuff. Its the fingers that need the work.
First problem was I ripped out shoulder muscles. It was not the nukitsuke but trying to stop the damn thing as it came down For a period I wore supporters to prevent further injury.
One easier thing is that there are few no shomen cuts. Its not so bad using cutting angles to the neck. I know recommended angles for Tameshigiri are usually 45 but I visualize and cut a little flatter. That cost me first place in a national as I my technique was good but the finished cut was too shallow.
Damn its never ending. Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu use a different grip and set up muscles. Now I get on to some serious nito it starts all over again using two hands independantly.
One thing for sure is theres no rest. Any short lay offs are detremental.
Warm Regards Hyakutake Colin
Sassy!

Thanks! Much appreciated.
OK I don't mean for this to sound like "20 Questions" but one more little thing:
Is focusing on grip and hand strength is the key to handling such a large sword? Would everyone be different in the respect of training/conditioning to use such a "physically challenging" sword? ( okay I know this question is rough and could be worded better...)

very hard to get, people use to keep this one
I think it is printed in french also, so if you parle some francaise, you can look for the french version as well.
