My swords

[Leonardo_]

Sai are great, too but I think they wouldn't fit me. Please show your sais Weapon X, if you want to.

I would If I had my digital camera.

Ooh Perhaps a friend has got one and could make some photos of yours in fighting positions, too !?

[Weapon X]

No, unfortunatley...

Very cool photo, Leo2! You have that "Leo" stance.

[Leonardo_]

BOAH you are right Ryo I stood like that automatically because the swords became very heavy after a while holding them in the air. Looks very awesome.

I will post more pics soon

[Zelda]

I loooooove swords! They're so gorgeous. (And I love Leo2's hair )

Ryo, what style do you use?

Leo2 and Ryo, have you guys tried other styles and if so which do you like best and why? Do you work primarily with swords or do you do a lot of bare hand/foot work too?

I've wanted to get into martial arts forever, but my parents wouldn't let me....and when I got to college there wasn't anywhere to take ANYTHING! Gah... but I have student teaching my last semester in a different town and am hoping to finally get some training. I'm not sure which style I want to go for.... although maybe there will only be one place to learn and I won't have much of a choice ;p

Two of my friends did kenjitsu and really liked it, but I think that was primarily sword stuff and as much as I'd like to learn that I want to learn more practical stuff as well--since I don't always carry a sword around ;p

My katana, it's sheath, and my bokken. I have a few daggers and knives too--my rollock is my baby!


I also have an elite ninja force.

Ooh! That sword is beautiful. I love the bokken too. I absolutly adore bokkens. I have quite a collection of them.

Yes, swords are very beautiful weapons.
It's really awesome that Leo not only has the deadliest weapons out of the four, but the most beautiful too. They really give Leo a presence of elegance and power. ^_^


What style do I do? I train in the art of Budo Ninpo Taijutsu. It's quite versatile. There's hand-to-hand combat, advanced movement training, weapons training, ki training, survival training, first aid, and some espionage training too.
It's quite a package.

I did a bit of karate in summer camp when I was a kid. It was good, but I very much like the style I practice in now. ...Though I wish I was able to do it more often.

Two of my friends did kenjitsu and really liked it, but I think that was primarily sword stuff and as much as I'd like to learn that I want to learn more practical stuff as well--since I don't always carry a sword around ;p

I suggest you try to find a dojo that teaches Budo Ninpo Taijutsu. You'll get exactly what you want.



Oh, and awesome Elite Ninja Force! I so wish I had something like that in my room!

I would love to see more pics, Leo2! You look really cool.

I present an innocuous query and you insult the quality of my monitor, Ryo? You presumptuous fool! How dare you? I used to think you were cool, but now I see why certain people despise you and your immaturity on these boards. Grow up... please.

Moreover, I've known lots of males with long hair who could easily be mistaken for girls from far away, so bite me, Ryo. It was in no way an insult to Leo the 2nd, and you took it upon yourself to assume too much and try to defend her from something that she didn't need to be defended from. So congratulations, "hero", you just made yourself look really dumb.

As a side not, my monitor is an $800 21" Sony... better than yours I'm sure, Ryo.

By the way, Leo the 2nd, thank you for posting that bigger, up-close photo of yourself. You are VERY pretty, and I'm glad that you are at least mature enough to answer my harmless question without insulting me, unlike Ryo.

You look badass in that gi and wielding those sweet blades. You got the Leonardo pose down pat! Keep up the sword practice!

[Leonardo Mystic]

Sweet! Those are cool, L2. I want to get myself a pair of katana one day, and take martial arts training to use them.

Neo, was it really necessary for you to attack Ryo like that?

NeoBix, You're taking what I said far too personal. Some people would simply lightly laugh from my response and take it as just innocent wit.

You however seem very sensitive of how people refer to your hardware.
That or you have some problem with me and felt the need to attack me and used what I said as an excuse to do so.

Oh, and I had no idea that certain people dispise me...
I'm intrigued to know what the reason or reasons could possibly be.
Apparently, one of the reasons may be "immaturity" as you said...

"Thou art not allowed to ask, Ry-oh, thou shalt feel despised and sorry for thee"

[NeoBix]

Yeah, well, next time Ryo you should make it crystal clear that you're joking when you say something like that, instead of trying to make someone (in this case, me) look like the proverbial bad guy.

I pointed out that I meant no offense towards Leo the 2nd in the post where I asked if she was a boy or a girl and then you go and make some crack about how my monitor is broken, as if I had trouble seeing the photos in the first place.

Next time, try to find a more tactful way to make a joke, because the person you make the joke about might not find it as hilarious as you apparently consider it to be.

[Leonardo_]

Please don't argue you two You both are so nice.

Thank you all for your nice comments.

And Ryo I do exactly the same:Budo Ninpo Taijutsu and at first we learn hand-to-hand-combat to get a basis. Later as soon as we are safer in these techniques we do more with weapons.
Because I trained karate many years ago I am a little bit stiff but my sensei said in the course of time it will be better.
He meant I would be dedicated to do ninjutsu and it was an honor to me.

Oh and Zelda, very beautyful sword. I like it.

[Spitfire]

I'm scared of swords...I don't trust myself not to be stupid with them and hurt myself haha That's awesome though ^_^ props for learning how to use them

I guess I should have put one of these " " in that post, huh?

Eitherway, I'm glad you understand. Yeah, it was a crack, and I certainly didn't say it because I dislike you or anything like that. I thought that I could joke around with you. I'm sorry. Some people are more sensitive than others, and I need to be aware of that. Not that sensitivity is a bad thing. I'm quite sensitive myself.

Hey, hey! That is awesome! I don't think I ever knew anyone from the Technodrome who does that style as well. Totally awesome!

That totally exlpains why you have a black gi and why you train with swords. ^_^

[Leonardo_]

Real training with swords will be a little bit later and i can't wait to train with them

Here an other one I like



Look in my eyes, baby. Please don't take notice from my askew nose

Another great pic!

You look like you're ready to kill.


Now, how about one with you slicing pizza?

Looking at them closer, you really have nice swords. They really look like the swords Leo has in the new series. Awesome.

[Leonardo_]

Yeah right or a watermelon
I am going to make more pics so I can show you my nice japanese cards hanging from the wall with the swords under it.

Radical, L.II - these red eyes make a spooky "possesed warrior" effect.

"BLOOD!"
