Hello all,
I am looking for a double wakizashi kata. (...give time for groans to subside...). Now before everyone starts telling me to find a qualified teacher, I already have a great deal of training under numerous teachers. (I'm not the best, but I get by ;) ). I also have some experience with Nito long/short styles.
No what I'm looking for is simply a really neat tournament kata. Sometimes its just fun to do; something flashy and frivolous. I have been studying for a long time, but immersed in tradition for a few years now, and something light would be nice, even if its not too practical. Maybe even a two person form would be nice. Definately Hollywood, but not too out there to teach bad habits.
I'm waaaaay too old to start doing jumpy, flippy gymnastics but I can get a little aerial.
This is time to suspend our tradition, and stuffiness, and lets think jedi for just a moment. Have fun.

This is probably not the right forum for your request. There is a world of difference between traditional JSAs and the sword twirling you seem to be looking for. Nothing wrong with that I supppose, this just isn't really the right place. I haven't the foggiest idea where to send you. I'm sure if you google XMA and forum, you're bound to turn up something.

Here's an idea, why not make one up?

Have fun.
