| Yumedo (Way of the Dream) I am in the process of developing my own form of swordsmanship. I'm taking everything useful I learn from external sources and adding it to mine. I've even developed a couple of techniques I'm almost sure are unique.
I know you can't re-invent the wheel, and I'm not trying to. I simply want a sword art that suits me best; so I figure, why not make my own? My Sensei is a fine swordsman (from what I know) and is helping me; I think I remember him saying he's going to get some kata for me. I am also in the early stages of developing my first kata for this art.
Yumedo (the Way of the Dream) is named so because it will help me to achieve my hopes and dreams. It consists of useage of Japanese long swords, short swords, and daggers. The short sword and dagger techniques are relatively the same; the practitioner may choose his preference of shoto. The long sword techniques mainly focus on the use of the katana, though a few other daito types (such as the tachi) may be useful.
Do you guys have any advice or opinions about this for me?
