A situation with one on three, your will probably end on the ground anyway. So a good bjj base will probably do you good.

Moahahaha! You should not have said!
You are correct though, good quality do take time.
As other have said, a beginner will probably not understand. I have seen it happen when someone try to explain a beginner to early. Much better to work on feel for some time than go in to a more deep...
It might not mean much even after an explenation, but it will probably mean something after several years doing the same thing over and over.
I ordered a shintoryu bokken from koryubokken.com. It did take them some time but I got it, and I agree with Chris, well made products and from memory good service. But another one at the club...

Thanks for the pictures. Looks like it was a great event.
Maybe dulling the sword.
I am sure I have seen it some place. But it's nothing to discuss, its a sales gimmick in the fitness world.
