As most of you have said, without saying, luck is what the least skilled person needs. Having just retired from the Border Patrol, I would point out that even with the bad guy using a...

SGR and HNIR did go their own way, Kamegai Sensei only taught SGR. I was told Yonehara Sensei got Menkyo Kaiden in HNIR, don't know if he teaches it or not.

I have a direct lineage with Aoki Sensei through Sekiguchi Ryu. Yamada Sensei says that the only person he heard of getting a Menkyo Kaiden in HNIR was Yonehara Sensei. The only people he...

I have asked a few high ranking Japanese about the term "Wakizashi". They all agreed that that it originally refered to the position of any sword. They all had differing opinions on how it...

Do you know what a texan says when he sees a a 6' 220lb man in a skirt and carrying a 32" razor blade?
"Howdy"
But you're right, its hard to drive and draws attention. That's why I...
Folks:
As Colin says. Shrine enbu seem to offer the most time IMO. Sword blessing and Enbu are scheduled but a lot more time is set aside. Ones done at Matsuri aren't as long so we have our swords...

Yes it was locked, one of my students found it under my name and brought it to my attention. It was a huge pain because of an infamous contributor to several forums including E-budo. It was...

Not to sure about a wiki, unless we get someone really good to monitor it. A "infamous" troll that's been banned from here and most other forums, put some crap about me on wikipedia i.e. I...

We use tobichigai as a leg avoidance/to power cut in SGR. Not a bad idea when facing a I-Beam. :) :) We move our whole body out of the way otherwise. I saw the kumdo cutting demo in Sakai...
