I was telling a friend about these today; he wanted to know how many times the steel was folded. :p
All right, this was my first public demo, so please be at least a little kind... :rolleyes: We were invited to perform at a fundraiser for the Japanese garden at Normandale Community College (plug)...
Pity...there's an uppercut thrown in the first five seconds, and no "Shoryuken!"?
I would think it would be like any specialized vocabulary: either you are using terms she hasn't yet encountered, or - as in the case of tameshigiri - they may simply be so esoteric she hasn't had...
The parents tell me I have a big smelly box o' tatami on its way! :D I also got Toshishiro Obata's Shinkendo and Shinkendo Tameshigiri books (I so wanna go back and watch him in Teenage Mutant Ninja...

An older Shinsengumi thread on the Kendo World fourms just got a bump. Among other things, someone mentions a "fundamentals of TRR" DVD for sale online. I've read elsewhere online (take that for...
Thank you for the welcome and the compliment. I do appreciate the samé wrap a little more since I accidentally put a small split in my iaito saya. I guess if I'd had a choice, I would have gone...
Hello, all-
I'm new here and this looks to be a good place to drop a first post. My name's TJ Hara and I'm a student of Toyama Ryu battoujutsu under Robert Steele. I've recently received my Last...
