Hello folks<br>
<br>
Not wanting to steal the thread I will just leave this here for people to read, it is one of the most insightful readings I have come across on the subject of the ubiqutious samurai vs ......<br>
<br>
www.thehaca.com/essays/katanavs.htm<br>
<br>
Also I am sure, but can't find a reading somewhere of a samurai being beaten by a then modern fencer ... in fact western martial arts have had a very strong influence on eastern martial arts, probably more so than many of us realise.<br>
<br>
All the best <p>Graham Ashford
