    Default Question to Hyaku!

    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!

    always,

    Hay-sus!

    READ : Zanshin as Seme.

    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.

    For me the training was a gradual process with doing Kendo and Iaido for years It did help.
    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.

    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...)

    I guess we could have a long thread on krappy budo-books as well, but this "random-book", is a very good book, beautiful pics and nice texts, that probe deeper into the matter than most of the crap you see around. highly reccommended.

    The ryu that are covered in the book:


    maniva nen ryu
    tskr
    takenuchi ryu
    shinkage ryu
    smr
    jikishin-kage ryu
    ichin ryu
    bokuden ryu
    hoki ryu
    mujushin ken ryu
    omori ryu
    arakiryu
    yagyu ryu
    itto ryu
    niten ichi ryu
    tenjin shinyo ryu

    and of course
    sumo
    yabusame
    aikido
    karate
    kendo
    judo
    kyudo

    I just got all three volumes of Diane Skoss' Classical Warrior Traditions of Japan, but I'm always looking to add to my library.

    Do you know if Mr. Random's Martial Arts is still available anywhere?

    It is out of print, my book is from -87.
    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.
