I had a vision of a kata with 3 attakers with bokken.
1: Shomen
You make a step to the left directing the bokken down to the side of you with your bokken, you hit your attaker's weapon with a shomen type strike (to push his blade down in the ground) and then, you move on him, with your blade striking him right in the thorax. take a step foward and since bokken are in wood, your opponent will fall down
2: Shomen
Left of you, there is a second attaker that start shomen also (your bokken being down from the first cut) you block him like the first one but instead of getting his blade down in the ground, you hit him directly yokomen.
3: Shomen
At your back, your last opponent is starting a shomen on you. You run into him with a blade striking him in his torso and then, since you are past him, do a 180 to hit him shomen (if he is still standing...)
This summer, we are a couple of friends who wishes to practice weapons by our own (5th kyu to 2nd kyu) It's one kata I wish to try to find if it works or not. But for now, it is a dream.
