Hey, Miguel, regarding the "left-handed Iaido" thread... I know it may seem like an unfair tradition, and that people are all ganging up and shooting down your opinion on here, but tradition is what it's all about in JSA. I would offer the humble adivice that you ought to just keep an open mind and try it out. You may find that you really enjoy Iaido, no matter what hand you are using! I don't think you should let an argument over left/right handedness prevent you from taking up a pursuit you may really enjoy. I used to do some fencing, as well, and although I had to break some of my habits that came about from it, I think a lot of my fencing training has served me well in martial arts. Oh, and btw, my resume in Japanese culture is really pretty meager, but thanks for the compliment! Good luck in your training!
