    The Cherry Blossom festival is this weekend and I'll
be demonstrating Saturday with my martial arts group,
 Capitol Area Budokai, in the arts of jodo,  fighting with
a wooden stick, and naginata, fighting with a wooden
naginata.   A naginata is a 6 ft stick with a Japanese
sword on the end.  In the good old days it was a method of
using brain instead of brawn to slice people up.
    Here is the general web site for the Japanese Street
Festival.  Look under "who's performing" for more
information.
