    Chris,
    Batto kata would be anything in Tachi waza, but is usually reffered to as Toyama Ryu or ZNBDR/US Fed. of Batto Do.
    If you don't know the federation seitei, you can do the shinto ryu tachiwaza in those divisions and your seiza waza in the Iai Divisions.
    Does this help?

    Bob,
    I just checked it and it was working fine from what I could see!
    Dave is supposed to be loading some other stuff on there tonight, so maybe that could be the problem.
    Try again and let me know if you have any problems and i'll have dave sign you up.

    Default Wakizashi Cutting

    Guys,
    as many of you know, the Wakizashi cutting division is one o fthe most popular at the taikai's. The problem is that not everyone has a decent enough waki to use for this type of cutting and many have barrowed then from several of us in order to participate.
    Well, i'm here to tell you that I have one and only one Hataya Kotetsu Wakizashi available right now for the first person that wants it. The cost is 1700.00USD and is probably the only one available in the US at this time.
    If you are serious about your tools, you will be doing yourself right by picking this one up to add to your collection.
    Let me know who's interested at bigtony@senpokan.com and we can go from there.
    I hope this is ok to post on the forum, if not, you can blame Chris Moses!!!!
    See ya
