Welcome to Our Katana Sword Techniques Site;
As we know the Katana sword techniques and katana swords are the
traditional weapon of ancient Japanese Samurai. Ancient history
considers them the most famous of the Japanese weapons.
They are even considered 'the soul of the samurai'. Katana swords are
widely know for thier extremely sharp edge and the slightly curved blade.
The beauty of a katana appears on its blade and edge. It's extremely
graceful form and grim beauty has been fascinating many warriors,
throughout history.
The short sword was called a wakizashi and was worn with the katana
to form a "daisho" or matched set of long and short swords. Both of
these swords were worn through the belt edge up. The "Tachi" was the
long sword (longer than the katana) that was the predecessor to the
katana.
They are know to usually be 80 centimeters long with a deep curve and
were worn suspended from the belt by cords edge down.
