you should contact someone in the sca in your local area and join, you would love it and there are lots of people there who can help you, just put SCA into a web search and then look for your area of the country, canada and many other countries are included. enjoy.
Reply:What is the point of that? It is simply not appropriate (and highly disrespectful I might add) to practice the draw or the draw and cut with a wooden sword. Those swords are for live work with a human being (so you can practice without killing them). They can also be a weapon all their own but of a different character. But for Iaido, the art of carry, draw and cut, you use a real sword.





Those other swords are not real swords. You might disagree but if it ever came down to it you would simply be killed.
