Oh...J.C. spare me. Stop posting links to these things, man, you're makin' me lose faith in humanity. I like the guy who has 10 years devoted to iaido and dabbles in Yagyu Ryu and Niten-Ichi Ryu. However, I do appreciate the high praise he gave kendo. Ohhhh lordy.

Lol. I hear ya. I'll stop posting new links unless they're really, really funny. Yes, reading these do make you lose faith in humanity...like this:
Fencing? what do you meen by fencing.... i just whana learn a style or 2 with a sword....all i learned is t.v. like power rangers lol and games and kenshin and stuff but that doesent stay in your head to long.. Oh yeah...definitly lost faith in humanity after that....

People like this make me ashamed to be an otaku.

Besides.... Yahiko OWNZORZZZzZ Kenshin. Ever see that battle against kenji? Anyway, with luck some of those guys will become kendoka, others just crazy and a select few will win the darwin award

I got really bored and decided to see if the question "do you practice hiten mitsurigi" came up on any other forums. I found this...and i pray to the god i don't believe in that this is a bad joke. I know everyone here has heard the "question from hell" before...but this....:

I don't know whether to laugh or be disgusted.....hm....i think i'll see if i can find more like this...for laughs, if nothing else.

Those kids frustrate the hell outta me. Mostly because I like watching the Rurouni Kenshin series and Movies, and all they do is make all anime fans seem like a bunch of nerdy, fantasy world, no sense of reality.

I like Kendo and anime among other things, but you don't see me in a bar getting a pool cue and threatening to kick ass! whilst performing okuri ashi foot work. Besides anime had NOTHING to do with me getting involved in Kendo.


P.S If you enjoy anime rent/download/buy "Trust and Betrayl" (one of the Kenshin full lenght films) you might find it quite entertaining.

Anyone ever tried to do kuzu ryu sen ?

korean sometimes use ryu tsui sen also called dirty kendo by some

Sorry for the double post but did anyone else find this part interesting? It got a chuckle out of me.

"I, personally, would like to think that the hiten mistsurugi that kenshin uses is, infact, possible and quit effective. You realy can't say its impossible before you try it (which i am doing with much succsess*call me crazy*). Its sort like when the people of the 1800s said man could not fly and then thr rite brothers proved them wrong. it just takes time for someone to do it. I hope i can conclusivly prove to the world (not yet though) that kenshin's hiten mitsurugi ryu is indeed possible. I am only 14 now and have been training vigoursly in the art since 8 years old. let me be the first to make clear that divine speed is not only possible, its actually easy to controll after a while. the bottom line is practice, are you willing to belive its possible? If you say yes it is, if no your rite too.
I havn't tought anyone hiten mitsurugi since my stupid pupil left me.-Kenshins Master"

kendonewbie, did you post something on that first forum link? because i think someone corrected you, and said that it was real.

I'm not a member of any of these forums...nope, i'd shoot before having to sit in on these conversations, or i'd flame them to no end and get banned. Anyway...found more stuff.
http://shendragon.8k.com/nomusic.html whos up for a hiten mitsurugi lesson?
http://www.animeacademy.com/forums/s...t=18393&page=2 a poll where 25% of the people practice hiten mitsurugi? Forget that...most of the people are anime freaks who base their styles off the other styles in RK.

[Gilowero]

i see, because someone posted on one that hiten mitzeroogie isn't real and its from a show, the only good post on there, and a bunch of people were like Nuh-uh!

change "thread" to topic. Anyways, the ppl in the first url link is what I was talking about in previous posts. People who seriously believe that a make believe art exists... Again, although it might be based on a real ryu, that still doesn't make it real. Still fiction folks...

Totally true, anime waza, and real ones are two wery seperate things... its important to realize that.
Real kicks animes ass, but animes ok, but in a passive, purely entertaining way. Rememeber it.. otakus!
