      I enjoyed reading that.
      Anything specific you want to know more about? I used to be a huge nerd when it comes to this stuff and I don't want to get sidetracked by something uninteresting.

      I can provide you e.g. more infos about swords and others weapons, links to historical fencing books and videos about these old technics.

      Would you happen to have any historical or interesting facts about Wakizashis or Tantos?
      We have a collector's set of 3 authentic Japanese swords, the Katana, Wakizashi and a Tanto.
      I'd like to get some cool historical info or fun facts to help brag to my friends. xD

      Couldn't have said anything better than Icebear's link

      It's fairly easy to find informations about these famous Japanese swords. It only annoys me that when it comes to the rich history of European arms and combat skills everyone seem to rely on cheap movie knowledge and don't even question it.
