You can also make your own training version by taking a regular cheap iaito, disassemble the tsuka, cut down and grind a new tang of equal meaurements (therefore shortening the blade), and then...
To be honest, I don't think you'd need a tsuka much longer than 10.5" on a 21" blade. Not unless the blade is esspecially thick and wide. I've trained with several tsuka lengths on shorter blades,...
How is that sword from Cheness? They blades look similar to cold steel's. How is the balance, weight, etc.?
Anyway, I'm not sure if this is the right one, but here's a shinobigatana picture,
I would be very interested in seeing it if it is legal. That would be very nice if you could do that for us. How long is the video? You can use http://www.rapidshare.de/ to host any video file for...
I'd just like to thank Mr.Roley for his input to this thread and his consistant sharing of knowledge that he's gained over the years while living in Japan.
For the above quotes by Hatsumi-sensei,...
Wakayama Tomisaburo also plays an amazing Sanada Yukimura in SNM 4 & 5. I like his role as Yukimura better than Nobunaga (such a change in attitude, you'd almost never know it was the same actor!...
:eek: :eek: Holy crap is that ever awful!
I just remembered something else too. Something bad. Very bad. With the ninjer boom, to make matters even worse, there's an upcoming Sho Kosugi come...
I remember signing an online petition that was against the dubbing of Naruto. I've never actually watched the show, but I find dubbed anime disgusting. It's unfortunate that another show was ruined....
As a Shinobi no Mono fanatic, I might as well step in to say something. I've owned all eight films for several years now.
Shinobi no Mono, subtitled properly, is available from Merlin at Samurai...
Uh.. bansenshukai saying very little about ninjutsu? Dude, the warfare in the bansenshukai IS ninjutsu. I think you're a little confused, or your words maybe just came out the wrong way.
Eh.. don't get your hopes up guys. I think he's a lost cause.

Um.. well yeah, every straight bladed 'ninja-to' is a wall hanger sword. Even the Paul Chen one.
Also of interest to the subject of the straight blade and square guard in Japan,

This is just so people can see for themselves that the straight...
I think he might've bought it for $55;

Yes, and it's certainly much different than using it in an instructional video, as was mentioned in another thread.
Anyhow, I believe the term you were inquiring about is choku-to. The square...
I'm sorry, but enbu and instructional videos are two very different things. Esspecially in the case of Mr.Hayes and his past history with that sword. With all of those problems you'd think he'd have...
If you think that's bad, his new DVD's also catch him using a straight blade, square guard, "ninja-to". You'd think after all the hassle he got about choku-to that he'd stop using it by now,...
I agree. It is a shame, and I think this is probably the best work in english ever done to try to accurately document the ninja (which doesn't take much). But I'm not going to spend $60 just to...
My sentiments exactly sir.
Mr.Ray, thank you so much for your analysis, I'm sure alot of people who haven't purchased it yet apreciate it. I'm still wondering how long the production is though. An...
Hello Mr.Ray,
Glad you finally recieved it. How long is it? And what are some specific things that it covers? I read on their website that it mentioned "old training footage", do you know what...
I don't have much information, but I remember reading that he has a 7th dan in Judo, 6th dan in Kendo, 4th dan in Budo Taijutsu (don't know who he learned from), and a 3rd dan in iaido. I knew of a...
That is the naginata from Bud-k. It's carbon steel though, not stainless.
Ed, are you sure this particular naginata has the cheap rattail tang or did you say that because most wallhangers do? I...
So his Mushamono shaken are not really a dollar each? Damn!
