Time takes time

True strength is found in discipline, solitude, and self-improvement. Walk quietly, avoid distractions, master yourself, and let your actions build the man you are becoming. Stay strong, brother.

Concealed carry.

They do much grappling on the pampas? The frog style scabbard is a great carry, I think. I’ve found the pinkie hook to be a problem for continuing work, but maybe helpful from horseback down cuts. Interested in hearing from gauchos on the use.

Good post from Moore roshi

"When performing kata, one should fully put into it the kiai of confronting an opponent with a real sword, without the slightest negligence, treating not even a single breath carelessly, and should practice it accurately in accordance with the principles of the way of the sword.

What is to be valued in kata is not merely its movements, but truly its spirit. If kiai is not fully developed and filled, and carefulness of mind is lacking, then however skillfully and deftly one performs it, it is nothing more than dance or gymnastics."

- Takano Sasaburo Sensei, from his book Kendo (1915)

[Note that kiai here does not mean a shout, as is commonly assumed in modern martial arts. It refers to the intense vitality that wells up within the integrated body-mind].
