My swords - Page 4

Neobix is right Masked Ninja. There are a lot of people in our training who are at the age of 40 and even 54. So I am sure you can do it always.
Even the 50's manage the "rolling motion" which is important to learn, too.

I didn't talk to 'em. One of 'em had a pirate sword. I wasn't able to take pictures of 'em. My digital camera isn't workin' for no particular reason. I'll have to buy a new one. I just looked for a few minutes and moved along. I had a video camera with me, but I didn't get any video. I didn't ask 'em cuz I didn't have the time.

Hardly reasonable reasons to not train in martial arts.

I know a man in the dojo I train at that started when he was 56. He's about 61 now and one of the highest ranked students in the dojo.

Martial arts has no known age limit. It's an activity that is pretty much boundless. People with physical limitations such as a missing arm and such are still able and do train in the martial arts.

You would be pretty surprised with what I can tell you of what I've seen and heard in the martial arts world, Masked Ninja.

*Masked Ninja* · 07-29-2005, 09:33 PM

Haha, s'pose I've been proved wrong. Maybe when I go out to college I can find something to try. *shrug*

How about low blood pressure?

Bouts of lightheadedness and mild black outs probably wouldn’t be an asset in that situation.

Um... I'd say Tai Chi is a good art form for that condition.

*XERO* · 07-29-2005, 10:40 PM

Touche' for Tai Chi, Ryo.

All swords are awesome, guys. Keep 'em comin'!

Ahhhhhhhh Leo#2...yer eyes look alien hahaahah

just teasin.

All I have are 2 pair of zai...one are my actual correct size of 18" and the others, my cheesy dragons are 21".

Leonardo_ · 07-30-2005, 01:27 PM

Yes, all I miss are laser beams coming out of my eyes..

Perhaps I should do some more pics to set in here, so my thread will not become boring

Buslady, what do you mean with "correct size of 18" ? Maybe you can make a pic of them?!

Lady Venus · 08-05-2005, 04:21 PM

Awesome swords Leo2! I envy you.

Leonardo_ · 08-07-2005, 12:24 PM

Thank you Lady Mew

Are you not going to buy some? So you don't have to envy me any longer

Lord Nightwalker · 08-08-2005, 01:02 PM

Nice swords. I have several myself, some I work with and those that are purely for my collection. I've tried my hand at forging blades, mostly Knives, eighter way it's a lot of hard work! *smiles* For those looking for some good quality swords, Check out Museum Replicas limited. They have some nice ones. As far as Martial arts supplies, I still use AWOMA (Asian world of martial arts). And oh yeah, I'll be thirty this year. Age isn't everything, and it dosen't have to be the end of all you hold dear. lol.

Sorry I can't two reason: One no money and two My mom would let me keep it.

NeoBix · 08-11-2005, 04:01 PM

my grandma has a samurai blade

Leonardo_ · 08-12-2005, 01:42 PM

I am sorry for you Lady Mew.

Cool Neobix. Do you have a pic of it??

*Anarky* · 08-12-2005, 05:50 PM

As for me, I still use my huge wooden sword. It's almost as tall as I am, and my sensei is actually thinking quite a bit of me, since I managed to whack him twice with my sword last time (despite him using a bo-staff). I'd still be dead, but at least I managed to hurt him.

(of course we don't really hurt each other but it's more like "If this was a real fight, you would have...")

Leonardo_ · 08-13-2005, 10:07 AM

What kind of art are you doing, Anarky??
