QUOTE (Ben Higgins @ Jul 11 2012, 09:35 AM) Haha, you knew I would be drawn to this thread like a beacon !! I'm pleased you're going to start doing it for real now.. hopefully you can find somewhere close enough. That sword looks great, a bokken I believe they're called  Exactly you are twice right  I knew you would join the thread and I wanted to announce you as well, as you asked me before about when I was going to move my behind to start practicing  and yes, it is called bokken - a practice sword - although as deadly as a real one if wielded right.Check this out: According to the legend, Musashi arrived more than three hours late, and goaded Kojirō by taunting him. When Kojirō attacked, his blow came as close as to sever Musashi's chonmage. He came close to victory several times until, supposedly blinded by the sunset behind Musashi, Musashi struck him on the skull with his oversized bokken (wooden sword), which was over 90 centimeters long. Musashi supposedly fashioned the long bokken, a type called a suburitō due to its above-average length, by shaving down the spare oar of the boat in which he arrived at the duel with his wakizashi (the wood was very hard). Musashi had been late for the duel on purpose in order to psychologically unnerve his opponent (a tactic used by him on previous occasions, such as during his series of duels with the Yoshioka swordsmen). You can read the whole story here: Miyamoto Musashi vs Sasaki Kojiro |
