Excellent! I am so buying the book! Available from Amazon JP I presume?

Good work with the post on Ichinikai!

The book should arrive here in a couple of weeks. I can give you a bit of a review when it arrives. The videos might be better. Kirin said somewhere that they come with English subtitles.

Is the DVD already available?

I just got a region-free DVD player...so, if there's a link through which I can buy the DVD, please lead on!!!

P.S. Nanbanjin, please translate my question on Hide-san's page! Thanks a bunch!

Kirin beat me to it. Thanks Kirin.
I'm not that confident translating to Japanese. I'm more comfortable with Japanese -> English

HAAAAAA what a relief. I finally order my F!!ng bogu...damn it feels good, it's an Eguchi 5.5mm, totally not rich-boy show-off, but any way, it will be my first. On the other hand, the shinai is really a rich-boy-Sh'nai. Madake, Chokuto, heaviest possible, with a 38 Tsukawaga lenght.

Anyway, this is my off-ChibaBogu-thread-but-sequel-to-my-other-posts about me looking for my equipment.

Hoo, Point-Made.

Glad to see that the "Kenshi from around the World" thread is up and running! Will add more once David's questions have been answered.

Wow, I can't believe I've forgotten so much japanese, so fast. It took me the better part of an hour to grind out like three sentences. Oh well, motivation for another year of classes.. hope I didn't mangle the little bit I managed too much :P

Why did you go with 38 tsukagawa?
I did. I don't know why.

Depends on the length of your forearm.

Of course, if you do jodan, the story changes.

FWIW.

If you have questions go ahead and post them...
Nanbanjin is comfortable translating japanese > english
I will translate english > japanese

It will save Hide.-san time if he can answer questions on one post.
He usually checks his forums around 7am JPN time. (6pm EST, 5pm CST, 3pm PST)

Kirin,

What did that say? As much as I hate to admit it, I don't know most of those kanji (only 1 year of japanese so far) and I have no idea how to look them up...

well my forearm is pretty long.
This is my waza shinai. I took it heavy with the tsukawaga shorter, so I can pratice more on control, balance and tenouchi. When I get my normal dobari, it will be more natural and easy.
