superb motion and fluidity but might i ask what specifications your katanas are? such as carbon grade? and materials involved? and if possible the forge process used?

[TPRoach]

I use a lot of paul chen hanwei katanas. My best being a momo no saru katana, high carbon swedish steel tempered at 60-40. you can see the 9 folds in it beautifully. Whenever i can afford higher quality i upgrade

[GHDrockz]

got a question:

did you worked more to find the focus to ur spirit or the techniqes of sword fighting?

sry for my bad english. im very intrested in that

its beautiful

[TPRoach]

it has always been the former more but the latter is catching up

[crazytrain111]

[TPRoach]

if im allowed a stick :)

@kokotenks I have to disagree with this statement. heres why... would you tell a xbmx rider he should use a tricycle with training wheels to do some of the jumps they do until they get enough experiance?? I make this comparison because anything anyone does has risks associated with it is a sword anymore dangerous than a bmx or a skate board? I'm sorry to say but that sounds like you take yourself a little too seriously and noone could possibally learn without yrs of practice. no offense intended

[WEKED123]

 YOU ARE GREAT MY BROTHER

[bokutoone]

[zelgrabx81]

Sine Qua Non; it's Latin for "without which (there is) nothing." :) great vid

[kokotenks]

training katana? you mean a bokken, you could make one fairly easy, or buy one, unless your talking bout a dulled bladed katana. i don't suggest you ever even touch a metal sword until you have a good amount of experience under your belt and deffiniatly if your trying to learn to spin and ariels like roach, and im certian he would agree, you will get cut and sometimes bad from such things i've got almost 12 years on me now and i still make mistakes more then i like to admit everyone does.

Where did this style come from? It looks like a Japanese katana, but the movements you did earlier don't look like anything Japanese. What is sine qua non.
