>>143937 >I switched to kenjutsu You see, you should of mentioned this first. Now I have a bit of respect for you. But if you were the 3rd poster, surely someone who's dedicated themselves to the arts for such a time isn't so...trying to think of a better word than immature.
Myself, I've clocked up one year of Shingen ryu kenjutsu, and one and a half years of budo. Our classes incorporate elements of battoujutsu into lessons, but in hindsight I imagine it's a bit more involved than what I was taught. We also use bokken for contact sparring.
One thing that was drilled into us, however, was that while our weapons should be an extension of ourselves, it was unnatural and immature to name a sword, let alone defile it with engravings, etchings, etc. A personal belief of my sensei, then?
As for the mystery sword, give me a minute to crank up Photoshop and see if I can't clear the picture a bit.
