[Moo] Next Asian Night: Asian Weaponry 2/9/2004, 06:30 PM

[Ii Saburou]

Okay, this is far in advance, but here is the agenda for next Asian Night:

When: 	2/9/2004 06:30 PM
Where: 	6899 Ridge Water Ct.
	Centreville, VA 20121

Topic:  Asian Weaponry

While I have specific examples of shuriken, katana, and jutte, the forum 
is open to the discussion of any Asian weapons.  We'll discuss creation 
and use.  Topics to consider: how do actual schools of martial arts apply 
to what we do in the SCA?  What use does a curve have in a weapon?  Why is 
Japanese 'folded' steel so highly prized?  I do not ask for answers, but 
discussion.

Please RSVP before next Asian Night either to this account or by phone at 
703-815-0310.
