It was not only a great workout, but it used similar principles to those used when I practice with my bokken. Now, I'm thinking of purchasing a quality cutting katana in order to begin performing tameshigiri. But, I have a newfound respect for my trusty axe.

BTW, Bill, do you recommend anyone that makes katanas?
This post just proves that you can't take a QP anywhere. First time axe use and tree is fully converted to burnable fuel. Next time I choose the tree.

Try this for a state of the craft katana: http://www.dragonflyforge.com/index.php
Michael Bell is an old friend of mine and does extremely good work.
