Ryuseiken Battodo

Japanese swordfighting

I've added some diagrams and text to the article on Tameshigiri on Wikipedia. Please read and comment here or on wikipedia.
I have 25-30 pages of these patterns already but I don't know if I should add it all.

I'm hoping that we get the other Ryu to share their patterns on Wikipedia as well.


There is a link to the Japan Ryuseiken site, but I wasn't quite sure whether I should add our site here. For one, we aren't the only Ryuseiken battodo site in the US, but more importantly we should be secondary to Saruta sensei's site in any case. Anyway, I'll add it as a local chapter site.

So far they seem to be leaving the new Tameshigiri Cutting Patterns page alone.

I've essentially donated those diagrams to wikicommons so others can create their own versions as well. I have another file with about 30 patterns in them. It will take some time to post more of those.

I thought those diagrams were yours. wikipedia can be a pain sometimes...

I take it back. The steamlinists (on Wikipedia) have undone/deleted the content I added. I'll create a new page for cutting patterns and link that in.
