Mike I was going to post this friday
When you first posted you comments. I agree that studying a stick or blade art would be more effective than weilding a stick like a sword for the reasons you stated and most things you'd find would be more liek a stick in length. However do you think a skilled kendo exponent or other sword art person couldn't defend themselves with an overhead strike from a broom length why should they change their range or grip to one of a stick. At home I train with bastons, knives and a boken as well as a shortend broom that is between a sword and baston in length and I feel as comfortable with it, the baston or boken. Your comments really mad me think that's why I didn't post before how is the follow up with a baston different thna with a stick that is sword lenght also what about the machette used in battlfield combat the are militaries who tain in the use of the machette (not bolo or kukuri) so it is a short sword what do you think.
