New to SBG, thought i'd throw up a Hello.

I live in Louisiana currently, and own several weapons of the bang bang type but no swords as of yet. Hoping to change that here shortly, but I know pretty much not a damn thing about swords, maybe y'all can help with that as time goes on.

Due to years of martial arts growing up, and having a good friend from Japan, I fell in love with the whole Japanese culture from early on. Guess that's why my swords of preference are the katana and ninja blades.

Anyway, thanks for having me around. Hope to get know y'all a bit better and learn from y'alls expertise.

I know little about katana. Euro swords, particularly Viking era swords, are my favorite. If you want to get into Euro swords, I'd recommend the Windlass Stiklestad Viking Sword, or the Ulfbhert from what I hear.

Welcome O Shotokan!
Been chatting a few times w ya--been a right pleasure. As you know I'm a kat man. Love me the sleek stylings of Japanese blades from all walks of history.
Welcome to the forum--you do know it starts with one ... But then you'll have to fill that multi tiered stand with sharp n pointies...

Looking forward to more tales from the bayou!

Early on my interest was in oriental stuff but has shifted to European gear. I still like oriental gear and have several pieces but somehow I connect more with the European gear.

Ifrit Member More edgy than a double edge sword Posts: 3,284	Hey Everyone Aug 12, 2018 5:38:48 GMT Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Ifrit on Aug 12, 2018 5:38:48 GMT Welcome dude. I too used to practice Shotokan. Assuming that refers to Karate. I kinda like anything blade related. I hope to get a sword of every type some day. Katana used to be my go to many years ago. I still like them though

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT

eastman: that situation has been constant at MyArmoury for the last 2-3 years Nov 18, 2024 0:32:06 GMT

choseychas: Anyone have any info on MyArmoury registration? Been wanting to make an account for a year or more (can't remember at this point) but every time I've checked they've halted registrations. Nov 17, 2024 21:55:36 GMT

alinkinthechain: I also do love Boston. I've traveled a bit and nothing feels as wonderful as that city to me. I'm lucky to live nearby Nov 12, 2024 15:28:16 GMT

txhighlander: Boston might be my fav. So much history, and clean! and great food. New York was cool for a day to see iconic landmarks Nov 7, 2024 17:00:22 GMT
