Re: Heh, heres a different situation for ya.

Hi Eric, you seem to be comfortable with weapons work but don't like to stand 'toe to toe' with someone. try training with a short sword instead of a katana, try buying a cheap jo and cutting it in half, you use half and so does your partner, the reason for this is that it will make you more accustomed to being closer to people while still giving you that 'security blanket' of having the weapons work you enjoy.

Hope it helps
