Hi,
Do you actively practice Sanseiryu Bankai? We have been working at it on and off for the past 2 years or so. I was just surprised to see the post. I didn't think anyone did it anymore.

I will print out the instructions and bing it to class and see how different it is from the one we have been doing.

Thanks,
Jim
