just found out about this sword form. this form uses a very long single edged two handed sword.

what i found fascinating is that some of the teachers use shinai to teach and at least in at least one of the videos, they wear kendo bogu with the naginata calf protector (the form seems to have lot of strikes to the legs) to compete against each other. and at least one of the matches seem to be against a kendo dude-albeit not a good one.

the video has forms that i can recognize from korean bon-gook style, which KKA and also HGDG practices in a very loosely recreated version (from pictures in ancient text)...fascinating
