You should really get a bank account. |

A bank account would help |

* saya = sword scabard folks do you need one for a shinai or iaito or bokken? My mates make their own for shinai and bokken out of heated plastic piping. I appreciate that an Iaito scabbard is hard to get locally without the actual sword. i'd help you out but i'm still paying off a massive credit card bill from a year ago.... good luck |

i need plastic saya for my wooden bokken - that i need for "kata" , element of suprise and stuff like that ( you know what i mean ). if i only knew how to make it by myself...maybe some guides ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i used to use those when i did Tenjin Shinyo Ru |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
real easy to make: - get some suitably size plastic piping - heat with a welder untill suitably soft - place bokken inside and mould it around it simple murray: i must google that.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but what should i use to cover bokken ? heated plastic cold be a little harm to wood. i mean, some paper ? besides, shaping saya with hands wouldnt give nice effect, i mean, saya could have some flaws in shape. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well to be honest i ain't done it myself but have seen the reults of friends doing it. You only need to heat it enough for it to curve slightly in the right direction, not enough to make a mess of your bokken or get warped by being pressed with the hands. its probably a good idea to wrap the wood in some thin material first. experiment a little and don't go too hot! |

no but really, why are you so against bankaccounts? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
will do, steel brother. cant wait to cross swords, would you accept a fight in armour, and with shinai ? that would be prolly exciting !! |
||||||||

i'd say you'd win! our swordwork is geared towards battlefield combat and not kendo-style match fighting. We could definitely exchange techniques and ideas though! I know you use kendo armour but have you heard of anyone with good quality, cheap full samurai armour? The nearest i can think of would be to find out who makes it for movies. Nobody seems to sell this on the web (not much call for actual samurai armour fighting styles these days) |

I do have a bankaccount. I don't feel like it imprisons me. in fact, I find it to be pretty handy. I don't have a mobile either. fuck that. |

sure i have links to sites where you can order complete hand made armours, based on historical periods - like armour from Tokugawa period ( with special marks of Tokugawa ), Hideyoshi armour, Nobunaga and etc. costs are not too big, i mean, not as for an complete armour - usually it is between 500 - 3000$. even 1000 is not much for hand made historical armour. and yes, we could teach ourselfs nice things. |

well, idea of someone keeping my money its not too nice for me, i rather like to have them in my pocket, i feel more safe in that way. |
||||||||

|

cool - link me up. i wouldn't be interested in too much period detail... just the basic structural elements that would allow you to perform realistic techniques... large shoulder pads, thigh guards, full helmet etc. The master teachers in japan do some real armour stuff now and then and its pretty cool stuff. i mean, when you think about it, the guys who designed the armour for protecting against the samurai sword, the worlds most efficient medieveal cutting tool, had to design some pretty tough stuff AND it had to last on the battlefield! Fighting changes bigtime when you're in armour... its interesing. |

small amount of people knows it, but un-officialy armour was designed to be strong, but at the same time, it should provide places to stick sword in - not like medieval european armours, but light spaces between several parts. thats why japanese armour is constructed from tine steel elements - they are stong and complex, but theres loads of places to be invaded in it. |
