Naginata

I recently noticed that there is finally a Seattle-area Naginata club. (Sadly, they lack a real web presence.) They meet on Saturdays at 13:00 and welcome beginners to come watch. Anyone interested in checking it out with me this week?

A naginata is like a European glaive, basically a sword mounted on the end of a short spear. Some video: generic practice, stylized katana/naginata routine (kata).
