Sorry everyone, please forgive me.... Should not have said "Badass", it sounded ignorant. I should have said "It looks like it would be a lot of fun if a friend was up for it, and both where not at a beginner level and after the proper training and instruction and it was done in a controlled, safe environment..

and Kaoru, slammed on the floor isn't too bad if you have been doing your ukemi.....lol...

Hey, to me, the way you used the word, it meant cool. No big deal! I didn't think you were ignorant.

Kids/young adults sometimes think anything that involves combat of any sort looks cool but forget the fact that injuries can occur though. Young people tend to not be so aware of this. (Look at all the crazy stuff on You Tube.) I know I wasn't when I was in my 20's or before. I'd love to take a stab at the pre-war kendo myself, to be honest, but I'm also not stupid. (For me it would be stupid, I mean. I'm tiny! I'm also not 20, darn it!) So, that's where I was coming from. I'm sorry I made you think I thought you were ignorant.

I don't do aikido... Do you mean practicing taking a throw? I did do TDK when I was a lot younger, and we had takedowns that were a lot of fun to do, but that was on thin studio carpet(not thick plush.). We never used the normal TDK mats. We had to learn how to fall correctly when being taken down. But, that's TDK, not kendo, so I don't know if that would cross over and be useful for kendo.
