Same as you! It is not widely known, but there are schools of ninjitsu in the Toronto area (and probably a lot of other areas you wouldn't expect) so if you want to train to be a ninja, it can be done but expect battles to the death. Being awkward with a katana in your hand could get dangerous. I know of two sword injuries, on a guy my daughter hung around with who was a part-time actor with a gig in a park. The other was a colleague where I worked as an engineer who was practicing katana forms where you grab the scabbard with one hind while withdrawing the sword with the other. The top of the scabbard shattered and he slashed his hand. In both cases, when they went to the hospital, they were seen by every doctor who was not operating on someone, in one case, 32 doctors. After years of X-raying drunks who fell down the stairs and such, they finally got a sword fighting accident! Something to break the monotony and start conversations.
Anyway, welcome to the boards! This is very civilized for a fan forum and all opinions are welcome here but expect to be challenged to back them up with facts and reasons. There is no seniority here, so there is no need to defer to senior members except if the mods call you out on something - the mods are very just on this board so follow them. You can ask (in the Bad Eggs section) to be adopted by an experienced member to explain what is going on or how to do something. There are houses you can join where posts within a house cannot be seen by the other house (Black Thorn and Sineya). Sanity has always been optional here so losing it is no big deal.
