What can I say!?

Really beautiful living room you have there. And what the heck where you doing with a wooden sword in the living room??!?! :P

Thanks. I like the living room, too. Sit on the floor, eat from the little square table...

Posture on the picture probably has a gazillion bugs. The sword should be more horizontal, posture more relaxed, concentrating on the belly (the center in Japanese martial arts), grip better with the hands “pushing” the sword down instead of gripping it from the side...

I don’t know about the posture being incorrect... You look like a Hollywood d00d going to avenge the death of his sensei or something :P

I used to study Karate but left it due to bad health. I took up a south indian martial art called Kalaripayattu (www.kalaripayattu.org) but had to stop when I started to attend college.

Have to start again sometime soon.
