As with any martial art, I'd test everything with some live energy before adding it to your system. Make sure it works. Then you have to set everything up so that there is a structure to learning it. Knowing what your core concpets of the art will be will help with that. Good luck!
That term "live energy is crazy....

Hmm Really? When I get it in training and what not, that describes how it feels pretty much to a T. Maybe its a sensitivity thing...before you say it, I am not referring to chi. I am indeed talking full contact.

Is "live energy" another term for realism?

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?
I thought you were just a teenager? What sword styles have you studied so far and for how long?
Styles: Shotokan Karate-do, Kobudo Bojutsu, Ju-jitsu, Kickboxing, Yumedo (a self-styled form of kenjutsu).

I'll see what I can do about that; I might be able to get some and post, provided my camera is up to it.

I haven't been formally studying kenjutsu for more than a year, but my Sensei teaches me some and critiques the techniques I come up with. I've been studying traditional Japanese kenjutsu and, to a lesser extent, Sikh swordsmanship. Much of my swordsmanship is self-taught, but that's how things used to be learned back in the day.
Oh, and sometimes all it takes is "just a teenager" to get things done and make things happen.
All with God's aid, of course.

I don't necessarily mean to be, but at some point a line is crossed and the forum is no longer a place for serious discussion. Little kids playing make-believe is fine in the right place and time, but when I first came here I really thought this might be a forum exclusively for fastasy role playing games from some of the first posts I came across. That can't be good.

But who says Akai isn't up to it? We get child prodigies all the time, 12 year old doctors and what not. Could at least give him a chance to prove himself before you start flamming.
