I've been lurking here for a couple of days (just got my account activated, thx!) and after much searching still find a couple of my beginner questions unanswered.
I've wanted a functional Japanese-type sword for many years (no SLO, thx) and finally ordered a Cheness Oniyuri which should arrive shortly. I could live with it never leaving the display stand but I would dearly love to be able to someday do basic cutting exercises with it safely. I can pick up a bokken or even the blunted version of the Oniyuri but I live in rural Idaho so no sensei or dojos to turn to that I can find (I doubt my Shotokan katas would be very useful...
) .
Can anyone suggest one or more decent beginner's forms/katas books, especially appreciated would be one to take advantage of the Oniyuri's unusual length? Many thanks in advance!...
