[Cougar_v203]

are there any site you guys know of that shows kendo forms and basic to advance strikes?

[KickChick]

... what those weren't good enough?

:D :confused: ...

[Cougar_v203]

most of them didn't work.

[JediMasterChris]

Why not just take kendo?

[Cudgel]

Maybe he cant find any kendo nearby *shruggs* I did the same thing about 2 1/2 years ago.

But be aware of the other sword arts out there. As soon as I can I will post some links to western SA sites.

... the QT mpegs do take a long time to load !

[Cudgel]

first try this
www.swordforum.com
it have a lot of very knowledgable people there who can point you in the right direction on a variety of different styles of swordsmanship
and then there is
www.aemma.org
this site has few books stored on it


and then you can alway enter western swordsmanship into a search engine and wade through the infor mation

Oh yeah I didn't think about that...My kendo club is 2 1/2 hours away in a car. :mad:

Yeah alot of them, I found Iado pretty interesting myself. I'm sure you have already heard of it but Musashi's 5 rings is a good book if you are learning swordsmanship or any art. I will post some sites with sword forms on here if I can find them.:confused:

[Cudgel]

my group is about 15 min on bike from where i live

iaido sounds nifty but since I use a longsword you cant really transfer iaido to german longsword

here is place to try
it has a few period manuals online
www.aemma.org

and this because it might be useful
http://www.the-aes.org/about.html

and this place some good info
