It was the dissaplin on how swords men and ladys controlled there weapon and i'm talking about all blade weapons not just with the katana. But more so i read mushashi's book of 5 rings and follow it up with the creed behind bushido. I wa going through hard time in my life developin myself and the morality of these men stuck with me . So i want it for my self as well. The blade be'ing a dangourus weapon and controlling self to ,and the mind space to controll the blade that becomes extention of me because it dangourus and need to be aware where the edge is and where it is .. This is why i think ranking never mattered to me . In mma with open hand the kumite was almost like a light bulb moment especialy if i got smaked a bit by a better fighter . To come back better was so fun.

Good day. My friends call me Dela. I did kung fu as a teen ager . Did mma/kick boxing for a bit befor the world shut down a few years ago. I always had an love for tge sword . But now being decades later i want to get to learn traditional weapons .the clarity it gives its almost a meditation in motion . Focus the mind away from life and just find the calm in choas befor trying to tame the storm of life.. it all a life long bucket list dream . When i get later in life i want to move into more and more blade arts
