I wanted to know if he posts because he seemebed to like the way kenshin fought. I know this might sound a little strange but I wonder if he is still cabable to use a sword...a reverse blade could cut the saya and in a proper stance it might led to his leg....

Oh, I see. Well, I know he didn't get hurt. He got very lucky! It's more like, he could have lost a lot of fingers or his hand, due to how the saya is held and a sword is drawn. Ask the Iaido guys here about this. Charles Mahan, who teaches Iaido, once talked about this subject, if I remember right. If I knew where to find his post, I'd give it. You should pm him about it, if you want to know more about why/how drawing one is so dangerous. I only know so much about it...

About it cutting the saya? Possibly. But don't quote me on it! A trained Iaidoka will know more than I do. I may know something, but I don't know enough on this to tell you more.

Kaoru

P.S. Yes, the way Kenshin fought is kinda cool... for anime. I prefer the OVA version though.
Geez, I sound like a geek!
