Left handed swordsman

[Mekugi]

This has been brought up before...many times....but this is an example of how the sword hands DO change in some schools. This is Yagyu Shingan Ryu, the Sendai line.

[David Craik]

There seems to be few things which are universal. There is a kata where a participant throws his sword at his opponent. It is difficult to say "such and such never happens". Always exceptions within a given context or ryu. Doesn't make it the norm though. The debate usually happens when somebody left-handed wants to do their kata left-handed, not a specific kata within a specific tradition.
