I not only like looking and owning particular swords that i like, i like to use them.
After i got my black belt in taekwondo, about two years ago, i have taken an interest in weapons. I trained in Bo, which is a staff, sai, which is like a handheld trident, kama, which is a blade on the end of a small stick, and finally sword. I loved sword the minute i picked up the bokken, or wooden sword one uses to get themselves used to sword handling.
I have gotten very good, and I bought a razor shapr sword straight from Japan a couple of months ago. I have some rather serious plans of going to Japan to train with some masters. ( if only my parents understood)
I got to train in a group setting with a master form Japan one year ago. A group in Canada invited and paid the airfare for Nashiro Sensei, the highest ranking weapons expert in Japan. He, and everything he taught me was awesome. I will never forget that week.
