  • I am a direct decendent of the Yamazaki clan. eversense i was 4 i trained with a katana. this man has absolutly no idea what he is talking about and he pronounced Wakizashi wrong.

  • @Mikanoes

    Since I'm a child, every day. But nowadays not so much anymore as time is needed for other stuff.

    Luckily here in Germany there is no limit to edged weapons in private property.

    And THX!

  • @ExtremeDeathman Yeah, I would practice with my bokken all the time, but the problem is, my neighbors would probably be scared shitless if they saw me doing stuff, I would probably get the cops called on me or something like that. But, I have been working on finding a private area where no one can see me so that I can practice all I want with no interuptions. But, I will definently try your advice when I get the chance. Is that something you do, cause if it is, you are awesome.

  • @Mikanoes

    Well, then start doing tatami cutting trice a week, go and swing heavy sticks and steel poles until you can't lift your arms no more. That's a very good training. And it combines your interest.

    No problem at all!

    But always remember, the taller the guy the longer the way down for him ;)

  • @ExtremeDeathman Not even close to being a body builder. You went in the exact opposite direction, I am unfortunately a lazy prick and most of my weight comes from a medium sized stomach and being 6'1". In GIST, not a body builder, just lazy. And, now I understaqnd what the guy meant when he said big guys. Basically, 30+ inches is for guys that you and I have to look up at while standing on a step ladder? That explains a lot and shines a more possitive light on that guy. Thanks pal.
