| Anyway just so this whole message isn't too negative, it would be solid advice for this kid to actually devote himself to a real kenjutsu ryu for a decade or so and get himself to a reasonably high level in that style, then put in at least a year or two in at least two or three other styles and THEN reflect and consider carefully if he thinks there is a need and if he is in any way qualified to 'create' a new style. I suspect at that point he would be rational and mature enough to decide (and would very, very likely decide "no"). |
