 Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 8:30 pm Post subject: double wakizashi kata - just for fun |
 |
|
Hello all,
I am looking for a double wakizashi kata. Now, before everyone starts yelling, and saying that there are no double wakizashi forms (most Japanese double sword kata are Nito - long sword/short sword), I just want something to have fun with.
I have been steeped in tradition for a number of years, and am looking for a fun, energetic tournament kata. I have seen a few very impressive forms in the past. I am waaay too old to get extremely aerial, but I can get off the ground a little if I have to.
Like I said, I am a traditional stylist (who can't spell), but I unlike a lot of traditionalists, I like to have a little bit of fun too. After all, what good is a monk with no joy in his heart, and who can't dance?
Thanks
Ered |

Good luck finding something. Since the wakazashi doesn't carry the glamour of its big brother Katana, I think you will struggle finding something that is even made up. But, hey, you could do your own.

I've never seen any. Can you take one of the long/short sword katas and just do them with two of the wakizashi?

I suggest simply using the wakizashi instead of the second long sword.

Maybe you could create your own, based on other double sword forms. Good luck with it anyway.

| Oooh! I have been wanting to do a duel medium sword kata as well- but you just can't really find a form for them. And it's hard to get someone to teach you as well since you rarely see duel japanese swords. It'd probably be best to make your own. |
