Hi
I'm attempting to learn naginata but as there are no schools that teach naginata in the Uk and I can count the number of people practicing it one hand its kinda hard.

This has been made worse by the fact that I can't get my hands on a naginata, I have tried tozando and a few US sites they sell them for £40 which is great but to get the thing shipped over to the UK its £112 nearly treble the cost of the naginata.

I am aware that naginata is pretty big in france and other parts of europe and I was wondering if anyone knew of any suppliers out there so I can cut down the shipping cost a lil bit. I fully intend to purchase a naginata but i'd greatly apprieciate your opinions before I spit out £152.:D

Lisa,
I'm not sure on how much the shipping would be but you might want to check out www.e-bogu.com or www.bugei.com
I know they have naginatas for sale.

Thanks for the advise, but I've already tried the US companies....eurobogu seems to be my best bet ...

Gill,

Don't forget me!!! Me too, me too!!!
Should I get both the Naginata and Suneate for the "seminar"?
Very tired of the broomstick (too short!), but hopefully I'll have enough funding to get the proper gear next year.

Looking forward :)

Well not actually me but Leng (You all know her),

She already has a Naginata, and has practiced a little before. I'm pretty sure she would be interested in practicing. So if you could let me know.

If you want any kendoka to beat up let me know I havn't fenced Naginata for a while :D
