For Araki-ryu, in addition to a paper-test, I had to demonstrate iai, kenjutsu, sojutsu and nagamaki (glaive)

Very nice Steve, congrats to you also. You don't happen to have video do you? I would love to see it if possible.

Thanks for the kind words, Anil. I'll cross you off my shitlist.

Kind words is all it takes? Well then .... ummmm ..... nope, still can't manage it!

Anil confused Tsukekomi for Inyoshintai????? WTF?????
Given you passed I will take it that your Tsukekomi was good and seeing he likes muddling well known phrases I will let him decipher this one.

!

I concur that you are wrong.
I would suggest that henceforth you start with this premise in everything you say and do (iaido wise)

...then you don't understand ki-seme.

**Peter West** · 31st March 2012, 04:39 AM

He did Tsuke Komi (Shinden name Gyakuto, not Inyo Shintai). I should know I coached him at lunch time and was on the grading panel. See, we do watch what you're all doing...

**ScottUK** · 31st March 2012, 04:53 AM

I originally planned to do this but I couldn't get the merihari feeling quite right.

**Fukuryu** · 31st March 2012, 11:42 AM

Am I on time to join the arse-licking... I mean, the congratulation party?

If so, congratulations to the new god-dan! And to think you were a humble saint-dan when I joined here... Time flies...
