Swordsmanship

[Tai Chi Fighter]

Does anyone know if there is a Kenjutsu school in Kansas? Thanks

[Tai Chi Fighter]

If not what about Furanui Kenjutsu. It doesn't matter where.

Okay. My friend Chris and I used to sword fight at night. One night while fighting he came at me with a stab to the stomach, so I blocked and came in with a stab to the forehead. When I saw that he was not going to block or dodge I pulled my sword away from his head. I t was a very close call.

So, that's pretty stupid.







Sounds like a couple of geeks f-ing around and asking for trouble.

But I could be wrong.

Gensai Kawakami was an assassin for the Choushu clan during the revolution and was said to be the most terrible of the 4 great assassins. There were mentions on how he could have been mistaken as a girl at first glance, but descriptions of his personality said otherwise. He was cold and calculating, famous for assassinating Kuma Shozan in broad daylight. His sword style was Furanui of kenjutsu.

Please if you know anything else about this style let me know.

No you are not wrong. It was stupid and I gave it up.

if you are that serious about your swordsmanship to "spar" with live blades, how far have you tested your empty hand? so have you have had any bareknuckle tai chi rooftop battles? tell us about that aspect please.

[Tai Chi Fighter]

No rooftop battles . But, yes, I have had bare knuckle Tai Chi fights. I fought three of my closest friends. Their names are Chris, James, and Ron. It was the three of them against me. Chris came in with a kick to my face, so I blocked/grabbed his kicking foot and slid my right foot under his supporting leg and tripped him. As I finished with Chris Ron came at me with a Palm Heel Strike to my ribs. I dodged but not completely out of the way. His palm heel knicked my ribs. I grabbed his hand and put my foot right in front of his, and used his foward momentum to my advantage an threw him to the ground. James, well, he gave up.

You know, my middle school students don't get sarcasm either...

Even if it was sarcasm I did not see any reason to not answer the question.

Pride..... <sighs>

It was not pride that made me answer the question. I just felt like answering.

[paradoxbox]

Just sounds like a bunch of lies a teen makes up to seem more adventurous.

[LoneHusky]

Tai Chi Fighter, I need a new training partner if your friend is interested.

[LoneHusky]

karambits are certainly more realistic carry weapons ....but sword vs sword or sword vs various weapons is great fun. I have a cold steel battle mace that i would grab for defence before any sword though.

pics?......
