Katana or Odachi
I prefer dual wielding katana and wakizashi, as I am a practicioner of Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryu.
Why is monouchi more preferable than nakahodo
Also what's your preferred kissaki
1. This is a fundamental in swordsmanship. One of the first things you learn, the functionalities of each part of your blade. The Tsubamoto (鍔元), which is the lowest third, is used for defense. The Nakahodo (中程), middle third , is used to control your enemies blade during a deflection. The Monouchi (物打), the top third, is used for striking. The reason for this is simple physics. The farthest part of a "pole" shaped object is the fastest part in a swing. The part that will connect first. Of course, this is for striking, there are many situations in which you would cut with the nakahodo.
2. The Ch-Kissaki, as it is the one I have most experience with.

Zako but understandable
Do you think achieving Muso/Muga when it comes to swordsmanship actually pays off and wether which of the two do you prefer
