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.

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
Weaponary - Lionheart - 02-06-2004
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 lolEDIT: 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.
Weaponary - Lionheart - 02-06-2004
lol, i hope you dont try and wield it two-handed?
Weaponary - Vahn RAmar - 02-06-2004
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.
Weaponary - Lionheart - 02-06-2004
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
