What is your daily sword ...

[Ken-Hawaii]

Specifically Nihonto, Steven. Chambers-Sensei wants us to train as close to reality as possible, which is why we also train on the side of a mountain, rain or shine. Today it was lots of shine, last week, exactly the opposite.

We do put our Nihonto away when it starts to rain, I'll admit, as getting a polish every few months isn't exactly in our budgets.

They have a bunch of three foot long metal bars that the track and field team hold when they do lunges, they vary from 1-3 inches in diameter and i use those for suburi practice. The bigger they get the harder they are to stop....

Do you mean harder to stop the attack or the weilder having difficulty in stopping the blade?

As in stopping it as to not over-swing.
