Practice Katana
how does a young woman learn how to use a katana?
ok… im 12 and i am very responsible with things like swords.. i grew up with them and my brother has a collection… i want to learn how to fight with them and my brothers friend said that what i need to do is take a practice katana out to the back yard and swing it numerous times until i am comfortable with it… then i need to practice hitting this phoneline pole in the back yard… he said that that is how he learned and he is very good at this skill now… he said that when he has enough money he is gonig to take lessons to advance further… i want to learn at a young age so that by the time i am an adult, i will have a better understanding and will be able to defend myself or spar with a katana… so what do you think is a good way to learn how without taking lessons at the moment?
thank you for answering

I harmonise with your desire to start early…..I’m only 17, but I really regret that I didn’t start things earlier. ‘If I’d started a year earlier I’d be a shodan by now’ etc etc lol.
There’s nothign wrong with swinging a swor daround in the backyard for now, even if you don’t have correct form it will improve the right muscles and make you feel a bit more comfortable with it in your hands.
But….hitting a power pole isn’t a skill. It’s….hitting a powerpole. After training properly, it might be advisable to try impact training. But that’s a long way away.
If you’re truly dedicated to learning the way of the sword, you need to seek out an iaido or kendo dojo. Iaido is the art of drawind and cutting with the sword, kendo is similar but focuses on the sport side (where you wear armour and batter each other with bamboo ’swords’). Both would be best, but if you had to pick….go with iaido. If there is neither of these arts availaible in your area, study ANY martial arts you can. The priniciples governing combat are similar in all martial arts, and it will help you get fitter and stronger.
I really, really understand you. I just wish I’d thought about it seriously at your age 
Any questions, feel free to message me. If I don’t know something, I know someone who does 
Ciao!
