Dear All,

I have been sent a CD-Rom (by another KWF member) of the now-infamous Chikara Dojo.

For those of you who don't know they are a 'kenjutsu' group that practice Shinkage ryu kenjutsu (tachi, naginata, yari) but their lineage is hotly disputed by all with the dojo remaining silent and the knowledgable KWF members calling shenanigans. One main point of this is the 'bokken sparring' that the members engage in (along with their 'Sengoku Classic' competition) that most consider inappropriate (let alone dangerous).

This video is in the public domain as it was given out without charge as a promo video for the dojo. I ask you all to download it 'for personal use', view it and then delete it. This way copyright infringement can not be inferred (I have done my homework!).

I haven't received the video yet, but please subscribe to this thread as the video will only be available for a short time. As soon as it arrives in my mailbox, I will post the video for all to 'appraise' and comment on.

Regards....
