that was badass dude..!

[xaedmon]

@masterthoj Thanks Thoj, truly it is not so hard.... practice until a sense of proper distance, grip & timing of release becomes intuitive....

let no thought intrude upon your intent....do not think, just do....guiding the projectile into the target with follow through.

I recommend a brief moment of meditation before practice, as balance within begets balance without...so within is where your discipline should begin. Meditation, is simply the objective observation of thoughts in formation.

That's not a Paul chen is it???

[xaedmon]

@saltyninja01 No, it is a very crude sword that was homemade about 30 years ago. nothing pretty about it.....seriously...it is a "throw away" weapon....

lol ok that was not that funny.... but you get the point :)

You oughta make a vid where you do it successfully 5 times in a row, to show that it's a plausible technique.

[xaedmon]

@LordOfTheGnus True combat practice puts utmost emphasis & importance on the very 1st throw, as in combat it is that 1st throw that truly matters. Yes, competency begets consistency yet .. people fight as they train, so i train in the most realistic way i can, & so i never perform the exact same throw even two times in a row, because i would never do that in real combat. Also i am long past the point of needing to "prove" myself. Although i do enjoy training everyday to improve myself, TC

@teagm003 And bad swords in Japan weren't tempered as much as a good sword, as it takes a master smith to temper them properly, so the badly tempered swords looked straight next to a good sword.

Hmm... This is a cool party trick, but not a very good thing to try in a 'real battle scenario'.

You don't really want to throw your sword at someone unless you're very close, and you have another weapon to use after; people block shuriken, think how easy it would be to block a sword. Also, the Ninjato never really existed, the myth came from the fact that good Samurai had good swords, and good Samurai didn't let their swords get stolen, so when a ninja stole a sword, they were bad swords...

@xaedmon Whatever you throw that sword at certainly gets "the point" ;)

Haha, I'm ten months late with that joke!
