I'm new to the forum. I don't personally practice Niten Ichi-Ryu, being only recently introduced to the art. As such I have a few questions for anyone who practices Niten Ichi-Ryu, particularly related to the daisho:
1. How precisely is the daisho worn in the sheath(s)?
1a. Does one refer to the sheath(s) of the daisho as the sheath or the sheaths?
2. How the flying censorship do you draw them at the same time, assuming you do? And if not, what is the proper way to draw them?
3. This one is more a confirmation of information I already have- both swords are worn sharp-edge up, yes?
4. Another confirmation- the daito and shoto used in Niten Ichi-Ryu are typically the katana and the wakizashi, respectively, correct?
5. When it comes to the daito, I assume it is held closer to the guard, except in very rare instances when the wielder may be wanting in the range department, and thus moves their grip down towards the hilt. Is this assumption correct?
6. The particular practice of using the daisho is referred to as Hyoho Niten Ichi-Ryu, right?
The information I was able to find online was unsatisfactory to answer these. Thank you in advance for your help!
