The correct way to display your Japanese Samurai Sword

Sports

For many years it has been an issue with a lot of people on what is the Correct Way to Display Your Japanese Samurai Swords.

Many people have many theories. It has even been suggested that due to the fact that most “Japanese” style swords manufactured today are not even from Japan but in fact from China, then the display procedure shouldn’t matter. Perhaps this is true but for this article we will be only discussing Nihonto - forged and assembled in Japan.

The Japanese daisho, the Katana and Wakizashi set, should be displayed on the horizontal sword stand with the sharp edge of the blade on top. The sword would then be curving downward. A good rule of thumb is to always display the swords on their stands as they would have be worn traditionally. The only Japanese sword, when resting on the horizontal stand, that would curve upward, would be the Jintachi. The Jintachi was worn hanging from the belt, blade edge downward. The Jindachi can also be displayed on the vertical stand - handle at the bottom, blade pointing upwards, sword curving inward.

The Gift

Sports

I couldn’t wait for Christmas to come. It was the first Christmas with my girlfriend and I couldn’t wait for her to see her gift. I had bought her a diamond heart necklace. When Christmas came, I was so excited about giving her the gift, I forgot about opening the gift she had for me. After  the third time of her reminding me to open the gift, I did. I couldn’t believe what she had given me. It was a snowboard jacket with a ventilation system. This was perfect for me because I would always find it very warm in my current jacket and was complaining that I wish I had vents in the jacket. 

Strong judo gi

Sports

There is no question but your judo gi must be strong and able to take all the pulls and wear and tear it will be subjected to during the course of the sport. Just consider the throws you will experience, for example. Time and again you will be put on the mat. And each time your gi will be stretched and pulled. If it is not strong, and if the thread holding the seams together is not tough and resilient, then quickly your gi will lose its shape and rip. On the other hand, when it is made from strong fabric, thick and resistant to tearing, then you can  expect to be wearing it for many bouts. Actually, a gi like that will last you many years and countless falls.

It seems like there for every sport there is an associate uniform and specific footwear for the occasion. Golf is no different in this case.

In a proper golf stance it is extremely important to have good balance and control. In regular shoes a golfer could easily slip while swinging and cause a bad shot and usually a lot of associated embarrassment along with it. For this reason it is important that golfers invest in golf shoes.

Tools for Skateboarders

Sports

My son and his friends are into everything that has to do with skateboarding.  They play the video games, are always at the skateboarding rink and enjoy shopping for skateboarding gear.  The other day my son comes home with these tools he bought at dakine.  He said he bought them so he doesn’t always have to borrow mine and I won’t get mad at him when I can’t find my tools.  I thought that was a brilliant idea, until he left them at his friend’s house and now his friend can’t find them.  So, we went back to the store and bought a few more sets.  Everyone is happy again!
