Paul Martin Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 Sorry for the commercial type plug, but we are days away from the release of our pocket guide to nyusatsu kantei. If you are interested in pre-ordering a copy, please order from the contact page at http://www.thejapanesesword.com it is w 4.25" x H 6.87". 50 pages. $12 +pp It comes in a handy size (unlike most sword books) and is beneficial to sword enthusiasts of all levels. It has basic information for beginners, blade shape charts, explanation of the rules of kantei and most importantly a Koto, Shinto dozen list for easy navigation when practicing nyusatsu kantei. Sorry for the bandwidth, but I felt that the western sword world needed this amazingly important tool in order to be able to practice and build their confidence in nyusatsu kantei. Quote
Paul Martin Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Posted January 19, 2010 We had a problem with the contact form, but that has now been repaired. Sorry for any inconvenience. Please try again. Best Quote
