Announcement

[Mr Punch]

Takeda Sokaku swung a 10kg iron bar 100 times every day. Some stories say 20kg and some stories say 1000 times. It's not important.

There's a lot of talk of this technique and that practice being useless and unscientific and impractical and getting you owned. Takeda Sokaku could have kicked the arses of pretty much everyone on this board, with ****ty sword swinging and pseudo koryu aiki. And he was only 2'6".

Train more - the end is coming.

That is the end of the announcement.

:D

Back to Lent.
