I love it when the reviews are all 5-star and 1-star.
Usually one group knows what their talking about, and one does not.
Often, the ones who know nothing loudly spew junk that makes me weep...

Hi
I ordered some stuff from Tozando. Its been about a week, and the status page still says proccesing.
Does it normally take this long?
Thanks
Paul Green
Ok, i can handle that.
Paul Green
Wow.
I knew you would get angry at me, but i did not this you would get this angry.:D
I feel almost like a troll now.
Ok, first of all it was just a request for info.
Nothing more.

Hi
Do koryu battojutsu schools teach complete swordsmanship?
As i understand, battojutsu means to draw and cut.
Is the entire curriculum based on such things, or do these schools also have...
Just to alleviate any fears, i do not plan on "learning" how to use any weapons, or starting a fake school, or anything stupid like that.
The question is purely academic.
I have no intention...
Make your own!:D
It shoulnt be too hard.

So the odachi would be more akin to the european longsword, and the katana would be an arming sword?

Honestly, i did not expect concrete answers.
I train for 1 to 1.5 hours three times a week.

Drives me crazy.

Hmm
My question included the possibility of learning a new art, and just using the weapon.
It seems that the kihon will transfer, and much deeper understanding will be beneficial.

Serious yet relaxed.
Nice, yet mean.
He always has time to explain it again , and can always put a smile...
Student: (jokingly) But what if he has a gun?
Teacher: *draws sword* SHOW THE NECK!
Good times, Good times...

Actually, that sounds like my Sensei.
When he shows us a new technique, he shows us how and why it works, and how its applies to other arts and weapons.
We dont practice the techniques with any...
Yay! I was right :D.

Hi
Ive been reading on Miyamoto Musashi, and it appears that quite often he arrived late to duals. Ive been wondering if he did it on purpose, perhaps as a tactical decision- to anger or annoy his...
Thanks
It appears we have some varying opinions, though...
Should be fun :D.
Paul Green
Yay! I get to have everyone get angry and annoyed at me again!
Please have some patience with me.
A few questions about transfer of skills.
1.How well will Kenjutsu skills transfer to other...

It IS coming, its just a matter of when.
Of course, a certain aspect of pain must be kept, to keep fear of the blade.
Paul Green
Wow. To what do you attribute this?
What do you think of modern arts, such as shinkendo, and by extention Mr. Obata and Mr Scott?
