Re: Choice of Bokken

Gentlemen

To muddy the waters further, in light of Akiyama-san's comment about proper technique coming from not wielding a heavier-than-average 'blade', I'm 5' 10" and a fairly athletic (read 'strong') 220lbs. I like the heavier feel of my Iwama when it makes contact with another bokken, but for just solo practice, I fear getting lazy about my technique if my training aid was any lighter. Make sense?
