Scythe Style Inspired By Niten Ichi Ryu

My name is Dan, I love martial arts including weapon martial arts. I decided to learn how to wield a scythe originally for fun but I realized that the awkward impractical nature of the scythe made it such an awesome weapon to learn because it becomes an exacting art that demands perfection and that you cannot progress using bad form because it will throw you off and make it instantly ineffective which makes it great because it makes you truly aim for perfect form and mastery which avoids becoming sloppy.

Scythe Training Builds Strength

Due to the curvature of the blade, you are engagin in fully body mechanics because the assymetrical nature of the scythe will force you to develop excellent strength and coordination. This is was the case for Miyamoto Musashis Niten Ichi Ryu. You will develop excellent grip strength.

Everything is difficult at first.

This is true of any Way.

When you practice, you must not think lightly of things. You must train diligently and steadily, until what is difficult becomes natural.
