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

i wish i did. but nope. it used to be my grandpa's sword but when he passed away it became my grandmother's. he was a weapon collector, except that was the only sword he had. he had lots of guns and knives, but only one sword. it's hanging on the wall in her basement now, but maybe someday I can buy it from her or she will give it to me or something lol. i don't want to ask her for it though. it would be rude. besides I think she likes it because it reminds her of my grandpa.

i will try to get a picture of it soon

I didn't have post a long time in this thread...
I wanted to show you an other pic in a "Leo-pose" and Ryo said it could be interesting for some people, too, to see it

Here it is and I hope you like it, too. It's one of my favorities.

*Masked Ninja* · 09-06-2005, 06:46 PM

Haah, cool.

Ooh, a question that's been bothering me for a while. How difficult is it to draw a katana from a sheath on the back? Is it just one of those things you have to practice? I could see myself stabbing myself in the back by mistake just trying to get it back in

Leonardo_ · 09-06-2005, 07:09 PM

Sure, I think it needs practise. I have got a little key fob and looked exactly how it looked. Then I portrayed it. But perhaps Ryo can tell you better

Great swords, great posture.

I love the outfit.

I used to do karate, I think for about two years, but got miffed because I had only learned one kata and a few blocking techniques. I also learned three kicks and a punch. However, to this day I have excellent reflex, always catching dropped items. And I block like I just learned it yesterday LOL! I guess two years of learning only a select few things really does pay off.

Has anyone had to use their training in a real life situation? Apart from competitions?

*Anarky* · 09-06-2005, 08:43 PM

Yes... I'm a swordfighter and since you have to analyse a fight before it starts, like seeing the opposite's openings and your possible moves, I could really benefit from that training. Other than that, I try to rely on my own skills (mainly streetfighting, I'm really good at that) since my sensei would knock me dead if he got to hear, that I used swordfighting skills.

*cowabunga14* · 09-06-2005, 09:05 PM

You look very determined and attentive. I like the posture and how you posed. It looks very elegant. Did you wear a white belt so it wouldn't match your karate uniform?

**Machias Banshee** · 09-06-2005, 09:12 PM

Nice.. I wish I was able to continue my weapons training...

I think the belt shows, rank. I know in most martial arts, it means youre a beginner. But it might mean a different rank level.

I had a guy grab me from behind not toooo long ago. I guess he figured I was an easy mark...girl on her own and all. But My training came like breathing. (I have 9 years of Kobudo training and 2 in Taekwondo/Hapkido.) I didn't even have to think much. It just happened. Release move. Side kick from close range to the stomach. stomp to the chest. Run like hell.

I have been in alot of tourneys and have alot of trophies....wasn't sure i could do the real thing until it happened. Heh, go figure...

Right, and the white means no rank. It is only for keeping your clothes on

So with my first assay I will not have primal the white one like in karate, but I will have then the yellow. I think in ninjutsu are less belts to make as in karate or judo, but I am not sure. Have to ask my sensei.

i wish i did martial arts heh very good leo2 and ryona

*cowabunga14* · 09-08-2005, 05:01 PM

I used to do self defense. That was pretty fun. I went to three places that had karate classes. One was West Coast Karate. Didn't really do much there. The second one was a church/YMCA type of deal and I guess lost intrest or somethin' from that one. I don't really remember. And the time changed for the lessons or somethin'. The third place I went to was a community center. I got a yellow belt there. I'm proud of it. I think after you got the yellow belt you had to pay for the lessons. It was fun while it lasted.

Leonardo_ · 09-09-2005, 05:18 AM

Thank you all for your nice comments

Oh, and yesterday I did an examination test in ninjutsu and have got my yellow belt now
