I do plan to try to train, actually, some basic suburi and a lot of those "hold it in one position forever" exercises. I'm going to avoid doing anything that might have to mess with form as of right now, since I'm still a beginner, but I >need< to strengthen the muscles in my left arm for the "control and power". Also, the bulk of my family is carrying all of my clothes. I have all of like three shorts and a few t-shirts, so I really don't need a piece of luggage all to myself. I say, "Hey, why not. If I can, I will.".

Another thing, for simple weight training, sticks+rocks just doesn't have the same feel as a shinai.
