If the mens clique doesn't exist, then I have yet to be able to belong to any clique yet. Which is perfectly fine for me. You people with your clique-itty clack (and don't talk back) are just weird.

Well, yes, Erik. We're men, not sickos.
With at least one obvious exception...
(And some don't need combs because they're bald. The really manly nonbald men don't have combs because, like, it's just something on the top of our heads.)

Porter has made several (I think) very nice looking Bokken. Maybe you two ought to get together. Porter does, after all, do (or did) some Aikido instruction. He has recently "given up" Aikido in favor of pursuing music. I'm sure he wouldn't mind an excuse/opportunitiy to continue a bit more.

T_Smith -- if you are looking for Japanese sword stuff, here's some options that I know of in Utah valley and Salt Lake Valley:
Aikido -- Kansha Aikido, Provo. Aikido *does* have sword training, but only with bokken. The weapons training (sword and jo) is not an end, but a means. Weapons are studied in order to improve your Aikido, not to make you a better warrior with the weapon. Most of the weapons work is wepon vs. weapon (e.g., sword vs. sword or jo vs. jo) Aikido also does a lot of empty-handed vs. weapons work (they attack you with a sword, you take it away and slice them in two, or you take it away and pin them to the ground). There is very little weapons sparring until very advanced levels.
Iaido -- Utah Aikikai (an aikido dojo in SLC) has an Iaido instructor teach a class once a week. Iaido is almost exclusively a solo art -- you do your kata by yourself, and never "spar".
Gumdo -- I think the dojo (or dojang) is called Lotus Blossom Martial Arts, and it's behind Ultimate Electronics next to Eatza Pizza in Orem. They study a korean sword style that looks pretty Japanese. I cannot remember what they call their swords, but they look just like bokken and katana.

Nope - just maleness. Cross-cultural maleness.
So people can link to what they like in what language they like.
But we don't have to click the link. We're men. We do as we please (as long as it's OK with our spouse).

The Hatrack Women's Clique is without beginning of days or end of years.
The Men's Clique is merely a temporary sub-clique of the Women's Clique, and is subject to the by-laws of the latter. This is just a place for those who aren’t sexy enough or smart enough or pirate enough to enjoy full fellowship in the Women’s Clique. The Men's Clique will eventually disband and become the Ruler-wielding School Marm Clique.
