Sounds like the case is closed on this one, but if there is ever a site you aren't sure of don't be afraid to ask for references.

Yeah, good writing groups should have the goal of helping each other get published, so I guess we have to talk about the scary A word every once in a while. *shutter*

Do any of you know where I might find:  The Japanese Sword Arts: Kendo, Kenjutsu and Iaido.

Specifically, pictures of the different sword forms.

There are books on Samurai sword forms. "The Sword and the Mind" by Hiroaki Sato and The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi would b e fairly useful Ben.

If you were in a position where you could get it from the UGA library I could simply give the books to you to borrow in person since I'm at UGA. Are you??

There is also The Art of War by Sun Tzu. It is not specifically about individual fighting, but about war tactics. It is good for getting into the Asian military mindset.

That one I do have.  I've read it about 4 times so far.  Actually, I found out that it's also required reading in the US military for some of the high ranking officers.  At least my dad and uncles had to read it.
