Samurai

[xnfx]

I couldn't think of another place to post this, so I'll try here. Does anyone know where I can find details or pictures on Samurai Sword Techniques? Like cutting techniques and drawing? Mental techniques, or anything?

Thanks!

Why do you want to know?

Are you a small pathetic nobody who wants to pretend that they're a powerful samurai who is respected by everyone and never gets bullied?

Just asking.

Sorry, I just wanted to know why you were obsessed with learning to fight like a samurai. That's all.

[Thai Bri]

Obsessed? Where in his posts have you got the idea he is obsessed?

What's up guys,
I'm not obssesed, and If I was why would you care if I was? o hard feelings though. I just want to have a in depth look at their techniques.

look for iai and batto and bugei ju happan
Iai is sword drawing, batta is the art of cutting, bugei ju happan are the 18 art of the samurai

Thanks Ryan Hall.

Google 'Miyamoto Musashi'. He is the iconic samurai and 'Five Rings' is required reading for any card carrying martial arts aficionado. Now that you know the title, you'll hear references to it everywhere.


Go to a big bookstore (Borders or something) and check out a book titled 'By the Sword'. It's a history of swordsmanship, dueling and fencing, mostly focused on the western world, but has a section on the Japanese. Overall the book isn't that great but it's well worth browsing over coffee.
