What short blade sword accompanied the Katana?
VIDEO: How to use a wakizashi!
While sword collecting can be a time consuming and fairly expensive hobby, the potential payback both emotionally and financially can be immense.
What does this all mean to you? You should take your size and strength into account when choosing between the katana and wakizashi for your personal use. If you want a Japanese sword to use for practice or cutting drills but you are a little on the small side, you should consider purchasing a wakizashi. If you feel confident that you are strong enough to handle the size and shape of a larger sword, then the katana might be perfect for you.
Samurai were able to protect japan with the help of these swords and since then samurai swords have become an important part of the Japanese culture. Many people who like decorating their home or who might like to use a symbol for their power also admire these swords.

Taekwondo (English pronunciation /ˌtaɪˌkwɒnˈdoʊ/ or (thai-KWAN-doh): also transcribed as Taekwon-Do or Tae Kwon Do) is a Korean martial art with a heavy emphasis on kicks. Taekwondo was developed during the 1940s and 1950s by various Korean martial artists, as a blend of the indigenous Korean fighting styles of taekkyeon, gwonbeop, and subak, with influence from foreign martial arts, such as Karate and Chinese martial arts.
