i disagree, not trying to bring a flame war. i just don't agree.

kendo kata is a very watered downed version of what "would" be taught in a kenjutsu school.

Now, now... nobody can say that another's Art is "watered down"! Name 100 people in your immediate world, that practice the sword? Honestly, do you want people who visit this site to think you are an arrogant jackass?? Stop emphasizing the differences in these traditions. Isn't it easier to see the reflection, than the opposition? For crying out loud! We all practice traditional Japanese swordsmanship! Together, we carry the knowledge into the 21st. century. Still, I honor you for stating you oppinion in an honest manner. Have a good New Year, and may you advance in your training! I sure as Hell am gonna try to make some improvement in my practice.

"Happy New Year!" Jon Palombi
