Why Tantodo?
... for me it is the most important practice of all of Martial Arts, because Mahakala - Buddhist Protector - uses Knife. Knife as the symbol for cutting everything that hinders development.
... i've focused on Mahakala Practice since many years.
... i try to see Mahakala as Buddha, to get blessings & lessons as from Buddha.
Tanto is name for Japanese Knife.
Jutsu is combat method.
Do is the Way.
In Martial Arts, do always includes jutsu.
-=- Holding my Tanto in my hand to show how long it is (it's long). -=-
One should never underestimate length advantage when fighting with such weapons ... i've trained tantojutsu martial art for about a month so i know how big advantage it is. (really scary advantage).
Sheathed.
-=- Let's hope that I won't need to use it in real fight. -=-
P.S. I think that women excel in knife-fighting, have many advantages over men in this type of combat. To train with someone better is a privilege as well - better lessons, faster development.
