I have read Piotrkowicz's book-very good,lot of hints for practitioners. Also,he was the first Pole,who performed Mizu-Gaeshi(as I recall) on master level.
Battodo is very interesting,it has been made strictly for fight
@eliteslayer66 With the large Japanese population around St. Louis you should be able to find something. David Lowry who wrote the book on Bokken lives there.
bla bla bla manga kids. A sword is meant for killing the same way guns are.
The only difference between Knights and Samurais is the geographic location. Both are landlords, aristocratic and militarist men who can wield weapons.
well living in that era would be somehow good but having a samurai life isnt fun at all.. putting martial arts and dicipline aside .. beeing a samurai means to serve and to kill people that are against your master..thinking about it i couldnt really kill a person.. it really needs a ver strong state of mind to dont get crazy, because the katana really cuts trough flesh and takes life..thats why im good in this era where there are at least less bloddy deaths than in the dark middle age
actually there is plenty of historical evidence in favor of the view that you are wrong and he is correct. The immediacy of modern media just makes you more aware of what atrocities do occur. Look up "Steven Pinker myth of violence" for an interesting discussion of trends in violence of the last couple of thousand years.
ya, real samurai school is a little different from that. they would practise there cuts on prisoners, not bamboo matslol a little different in todays world eh?

mostly battoudo, i think. Is kinda funny different people call iaido, iaijutsu or battodo. I think all that is the same.

You're kidding yourself if you think the modern age is any less bloody or violent than any other.
