Veilmask999 (1:34:59 PM): thanks, this is kinda going nowhere, you know? timsk1577 (1:35:11 PM): well tell me what swordwork is so i understand it timsk1577 (1:35:16 PM): then it'll go somewhere timsk1577 (1:35:31 PM): i've got all the time in the world right now Veilmask999 (1:35:34 PM): Sword work is proper cutting techniqwue, timing, rhythm, everything one uses to kill ones opponent. Veilmask999 (1:35:57 PM): It is geared toward practicality, towards simplicity, towards overcoming ones fear of death, this is sword work timsk1577 (1:36:22 PM): ok. so what kind of sword do you use to practice swordwork? Veilmask999 (1:37:03 PM): Doesnt matter, swords a sword, some are better for cutting some thrusting, depends on the person, I dont fcous overly on the technique, but equally on the physical and mental aspects Veilmask999 (1:37:15 PM): Dont get caught up in the mundane of this weapon and that timsk1577 (1:37:29 PM): well wouldn't you need a sword to practice swordwork? timsk1577 (1:37:49 PM): and wouldn't it make a difference btwn a katana and say a claymore? Veilmask999 (1:38:13 PM): lol, ofcourse, however truth be told, if you have zanshin, then your already a master, even if you have never picked up a sword. timsk1577 (1:40:03 PM): ok. so if you don't overy focus on your technique, then wouldn't "timing, rhythm, proper cutting technique" seem to implicity emphasize technique? Veilmask999 (1:40:36 PM): Those are necessities, I dont overly focus, this does not mean no focus, mind, body, spirit, I teach all three timsk1577 (1:41:28 PM): wouldn't you want to focus on that if they were necessities? timsk1577 (1:41:38 PM): they seem to imply the basics of your martial art timsk1577 (1:42:40 PM): and no.. just having zanshin doesn't make you a master... (if that is what you are implying about kendo) Veilmask999 (1:42:48 PM): no, because mind and spirit together are more important, they will be mastered, you making the mistake of not lsitening. To focus ovrerly is to overly develop these aspects. Not a lot of ways to kill a man, the moe complex a thing, the moe that can go wrong, keep it simple. Veilmask999 (1:43:04 PM): LOL, your just a kid, you dont even know what Zanshin, is timsk1577 (1:43:10 PM): kid? timsk1577 (1:43:14 PM): pretty old for a kid Veilmask999 (1:43:27 PM): Sorry, it does indeed make one a master, man, you are to wrapped up in the physical, youll nbever be a master with that attitude Veilmask999 (1:43:50 PM): Old has nothing to do with it. I am about 50,000 years older, likely older, your spiirt is very young. Veilmask999 (1:44:22 PM): reincarnation ins a wonderful thing, if you have been around a while, a burden too, know more then I would really like, ignorance is bliss, believe me timsk1577 (1:44:34 PM): the "moe"? really mature.... timsk1577 (1:45:02 PM): ok so how does just having zanshin make you a master? Veilmask999 (1:45:35 PM): I dont ahve time to explain it, one not fear death also makes on a master, this does not equate with you either I think Veilmask999 (1:45:50 PM): To not fear death also makes on a master, wont explain that to you either timsk1577 (1:45:56 PM): whatever Veilmask999 (1:45:57 PM): some thing you have to figure out for yourself, Veilmask999 (1:46:06 PM): if I gave out answers, no one would work to find them Veilmask999 (1:46:19 PM): you want easy answers dont you, lol timsk1577 (1:46:20 PM): its not like i want all my answers from you Veilmask999 (1:46:42 PM): yeah but its really that simple Veilmask999 (1:46:49 PM): Kep this in mind Veilmask999 (1:46:56 PM): and this lesson is worth a lot Veilmask999 (1:47:17 PM): TYhe answers you seek, lie in the simple things, to look for them in technique, style, movement, you wont find them timsk1577 (1:47:29 PM): that is pretty obvious to me Veilmask999 (1:47:34 PM): simplicity is the ky to mastering anything, the way to master one thing is the way to master all things Veilmask999 (1:47:56 PM): obvious yes, but you know the path and do not walk it, thats like being a soup ladle in a bowel of soup but never tasting the soup Veilmask999 (1:48:05 PM): ;-) timsk1577 (1:48:08 PM): hmm that seems like kendo to me tho Veilmask999 (1:48:10 PM): annoyed yet? timsk1577 (1:48:15 PM): nope not at all Veilmask999 (1:48:17 PM): it seems, but it aint timsk1577 (1:48:27 PM): the way to master one thing. timsk1577 (1:48:33 PM): i'm citing an example here timsk1577 (1:48:38 PM): like learning kihon Veilmask999 (1:48:46 PM): Your citing Miyamotot Musashi timsk1577 (1:48:51 PM): you learn it, you polish it and it is still not enough Veilmask999 (1:48:55 PM): Thats from ther book of five rings timsk1577 (1:49:00 PM): tru Veilmask999 (1:49:04 PM): Look Veilmask999 (1:50:38 PM): one sec timsk1577 (1:50:43 PM): ok no prob timsk1577 (1:50:55 PM): i can wait Veilmask999 (1:57:14 PM): back timsk1577 (1:57:19 PM): ok Veilmask999 (1:58:16 PM): cant explain it to well, but these things, to conquer ones fear of death, this is what doing all the sword work and practin all those years are all about, thats the goal, if on can achieve it, mastery over life and death, what more is there he needs to learn, nothing. Veilmask999 (1:58:43 PM): Stories like this are meant to stress the importance of the important things, instead you newbies and long timers, get caught up in the wrong stuff, the wrong goals Veilmask999 (1:58:58 PM): its a shame, but what can I do *shrug* timsk1577 (1:59:55 PM): the thing is.. you come and talk about your martial art and how kendo is a sport and it seems like you haven't practiced it at all. I can't comment about how your martial art is fake as much as you can't comment on kendo and say its fake. Veilmask999 (2:00:29 PM): LOL, trust me I can, because its all about creating life and taking it, anything else is just a sport. Tim |

Anyways, this was a recent conversation. Interesting nonetheless. if you can actually read all of it. Thing is tho, i'm in kendo for kendo only. I've never wanted to start another martial art. Its too time consuming and my time revolves around my work. Even If I wanted to start another one, my hobbies and interests are too different to start. (and veilmask, if you are reading this, i'm sorry if I offended. I just needed to get your side of the story, but you seemed to want to push upon me why kendo was not a martial art and my "kind" were just bull headed ppl. Trust me we aren't bull headed in real life. I have other interests as well, but not in other martial arts.)

He seemed to be avoiding every question that you asked him. If he actually knew then he would have at least told you the basics of them. And then you tell him that you are ready to listen, but he won't speak up. I wouldn't be surprised if he sits in front of the computer all day watching Rurouni Kenshin and practicing techniques from there cause if he did any sort of swordwork, he would have at least known something.

He seemed to be avoiding every question that you asked him. If he actually knew then he would have at least told you the basics of them. And then you tell him that you are ready to listen, but he won't speak up. I wouldn't be surprised if he sits in front of the computer all day watching Rurouni Kenshin and practicing techniques from there cause if he did any sort of swordwork, he would have at least known something.

If you guys use trillian, it records all of your conversations automatically so you don't have to make the extra effort to remember.
So did you guys IM him or did he IM you? |

You should have shown him more respect, samurai999, then he would have taught you how to walk across wet cement and how to kill a man with a single touch. Also, he is 50,000 years old, have you never been taught to respect your elders?

Tim, Wow, the patience you have to even have a conversation that long with someone like that. To me, he's just mere fanatic who echos the saying from the books and stuff he read. How well he can do with a real sword in his hand? I don't know. So, I guess if you according to Veilmask. .. ...when a dental student practices drilling teeth on dummies, the dental student is not really "practicing" medecine?
 sigh, some people.

Hey its all good. I like hearing different points of view. It just made me want to inquire more when he talked about how I should learn more martial arts and all of the other things about kendo not being a martial art and everything taught to me by established senseis were wrong and the way that he practiced was right. Its sort of the opposite of the way I was taught by sensei and my parents. That was to basically don't spread yourself thin. Then you become a jack-of-all-trades and a master of nothing.
