Just wondering, what kind of gear were did you guys use, bokkens? I know you Aussies are some roughneck types, but most of the Iaido crowd I've met strays away from sparring, except for pre-arranged routines. Don't get me wrong, though... Iaido/Iaijutsu definitely has some useful techniques to offer.
I mangled my left hand in a factory incident last September, and since Thai boxing and grappling was out of the question, I took up the Japanese sword.
