@wheresthecorporal A few posts below yours is the answer: You would not use shirasaya in iaido.

@GTFOVevo Mate, don't let anybody stop you from doing what you love. There are plenty of non-discriminatory teachers in the world, and if a person is shallow-minded enough to dislike you due to where you were born (a fact far beyond our control), you needn't submit yourself to learning from them.

@hempev Huh, well that's cool. I've always thought it was the other way around -- looks like I have much to learn about history haha. Personally, after living where I am all my life, I've seen and befriended every culture under the sun.
Thanks for the reply!

@slasher380 A family heirloom blade was not always "mounted" and ready to use as in wartime. Many blades were kept protected in a Shirasaya mounting. A shirasaya is NOT for training or actual use. But don't take a stranger's word for it. Here's an idea. Google. From Wikipedia: A shirasaya is a plain wooden Japanese blade mount consisting of a saya (scabbard) and tsuka (hilt), traditional made of wood and used when a blade was not expected to see use for some time and needed to be stored.

I've always wanted to learn how to train with bokken, unfortunately, I'm Korean -- a lot of Japanese people seem to hate Koreans, so I'm rather afraid. Heh..

@GTFOVevo The Japanese are just not crazy about any gaijin! I would think, history being what it is, *you* would hate the Japanese! Shihan has no such prejudice, but you'd have to be in N.California to take his classes - you might be surprised at what is available locally if you do a search for iaido classes.

How do you wear the wakizashi with the katana?
samurai95407 4 months ago
@samurai95407 I am just learning how to wear the single sword, so I cannot be sure, but I do remember Shihan saying the wakizashi is more across the front - that is why we are taught to have the wrist bent back (farther than I have the flexibility to do) and to come up from below to grasp, not reach across (where the wakisashi would be in the way).
