Visited Koyo's Dojo today for a very enjoyable seminar on weapons and taijutsu, met a lot of great people from a few different styles and learned more than I expected.
That Gedan no Kamae will get you killed every time against a better swordsman. (still might work with Rokushaku Bo or Naginata though ) That MAs from many schools can have a great day together. That Kendo and Iado guys think that ninjutsu guys wear their gimp masks all the time. I do Bujinkan Taijutsu for those who are interestedl.
