Iaido w./ Knives

[migo]

Has anyone trained in Iaido and found it to be applicable to knives as well?

I believe that there are similar tanto techniques. Check out the tanto book by Russell Maynard, for example.

Cool, thanks. Know somewhere that I can find it for less than $150? :idunno:

Wow! I checke dit out at Amazon--$155! The 1986 copy on my shelf has a $7.95 price marked on it!

I guess it's a really good book.

It's not as bad as "Cards as Weapons" though, that one's around $300-$600 second hand.

 

[arnisador]

Can anyone suggest another tanto book?
