ha ha your ass is gonna get owned
not necessarily, if hes good at fencing or kendo i could easily destroy him despite the less amount of training. But i wouldnt talk mister "im gonna rely on a weapon that any weakling can use" lol.

true any one can use it but it takes a real expert to master it
umm 5 years in kendo and 2 just trying different styles say my twin katanas will slaughter you lol but if you can wield a broadsword with one hand i respect you immensly lol on and ima defend fencing because i used some of the parrys and the are FAST.
i mean WAY fast

hey what do you mean??????? kendo is gr8 if you advanced like the 5 training techniques, Suburi (sword swinging drills), Tanrengata (solo forms), Battoho (combative drawing methods), Tachiuchi (pre-arranged sparring) and Tameshigiri/Shizan (cutting straw and bamboo targets) with the added expereince with fencing, ninjitsu, kobudo and budokan added up you can make your own style
indeed you can make your own style with those, and it is respectable dont get me wrong. I meant more if you relied solely on Fencing or Kendo, i could beat you, however, with outside knowledge it would be more than an even match. Oh and i can wield my broadsword singlehandedly
, with my claymore...im getting there lets put it that way lol
EDIT: i forgot to mention that those who weild Katanas are towards the top of my "respected peoples" list. I would never use one in battle because i prefer strength over speed but the Samurai code of ethics is something to be looked highly upon. By using a sword with that ancestry, you are picking up their way of life and that is a respectable thing. Its like me with my swords and a Knights Honor Code
When me and Issac spar I use the Katana, and usually am defending and parrying, but I get my @ss kicked.
lol, i hope you dont try and wield it two-handed?
no, I'd be salughered. It's very light, so I can deal with one hand, but he uses it with much more percision. Or should I say the training swords. he also has a couple years of Woo-Shu on me(I think that's how it's spelled.) so that makes a difference.
ok good because all katanas are meant to wielded singlehandedly

lol thats nice. i stoped studying the teachings of ninjitsu because of the conflicting codes. while samurai will face you in a fight without trickery ninja do not. and guess what? i bought those swords 4 nothin. i have chinese ancestry and just found out what was is that box my mum neva let me touch. their katanas that where passed down gen 2 gen so i shud get em soon
oh i forgot 2 mention i have a BIG metal training pole thing which is bigger than me that i can weild single handedly lol but only after about 5 years.
Edit: oh and what is the knights code exactly? i never trained in those areas but i think i might start now and i just askd my mum about the katanas and he told me that my gr8,gr8 grandad or sumthin like that forged them and im gettin them next week. i'll keep u updated on how they r
