Bohi and boshi are both parts of the Japanese sword, be that a tanto, wakizashi, katana or nodachi. However, there's a lot of confusion around which is which and what they do. Today I'll hopefully clarify which is which and their functions and debunk some myths while I'm at it.
Swords: T10 clay tempered wakizashi 55cm blade length
Always be aware of your surroundings and minimise harm to yourself, others and your environment. Never use weapons when intoxicated or upset or for any act of violence.

![Progression vs Preservation in Historic Martial Arts [sword talk]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zi-LAKMzqpQ/mqdefault.jpg "Progression vs Preservation in Historic Martial Arts [sword talk]
Today we talk about striking a balance in historic fencing. Do we push for progression or strive for preservation in historic sword martial arts? We discuss how HEMA has found a balance and how we are yet to achieve this for Historic Asian Swordsmanship, looking at case studies of Koryu, Kendo and XMA and how all of these lack balance but achieve their goals. Hopefully in future we will see more HEMA like clubs training in Asian Historic Fencing.
