    Post Free manual in PDF format

    Save yourself $5. Free equipment manuel download in French, English, and German. I like how it says "please don't copy this illegally" on the bottom of the first page. Too late.

    It is a translation (not a great one) from a Japanese manual. The writers realized that it was too expensive to publish, so they put it out for free on the net. I think the illegal copying refers to selling.
    It's useful in that it shows in detail how to fold hakama, tie various knots, make a frakenshinai, etc. Trouble is printing it all out comes to over 50 A4 pages.

    Good stuff.
    I'm hitting myself now because I have this manual at home, and didn't check it first.
    When all else fails..read the instructions.

    Is it just my PDF reader, or are there some distortions in the file? Text is cluttered, and strangely formatted. Pictures are nice though

    I was checking The first of the five files...

    Ive had this manual for ages, and I LOVE it!! All sorts of random stuff, like how to rethread the himo in your kote. Awesome stuff.
