This is really not a good way to go about learning things. Find a teacher who can teach you what you want to learn. Videos and MT discussions are not the way to learn kata or other specific aspects of martial arts.

What Flying Crane just said. Sword katas cannot be learned *properly* through books or videos. There are many intricate hand movements and footwork, which would require a *live* sensei for guidance. Trying to teach yourself a sword kata can also be very dangerous. Read this thread about Don Rice. He also tried teaching himself sword kata, and nearly lost his arm (not to mention his life) as a result.

The Kenjutsu kata I know are quite complicated and complexed even as simple as they are. They cannot be understood through videos, books and internet. It's best you get yourself to a legitimate dojo for instruction.
