I do believe in the existence of energy/chi/kai or whatever you want to give that baby a name. And i witnessed some pretty impressive things first hand but i don't believe (at all..) that you can control and use it in a way as this Kai Master try to play it :) He was very lucky that his opponent took it easy on him...

And woodblockprints.. well the word speaks for itself but i had no clue about the process behind it.

When i tell people what my job is most of them do think it's awesome..especially sword fanatics :) But as with all things in life, nothing goes exactly the way you planned it.
