The older male nodded slowly, organizing his thoughts. Yes, Alaki did knew a good lot about it, but not much about the historical part of it. Too bad that; since he would have to spend a good time explainning it a bit.

The Russian took a good, deep breath before starting. "Yes, you know a lot about the theory on the pratical use of a katana, but not the theory on its whole background. To understand a weapon and use it properly, one must first understand it's history, it's context.

A katana is a japanese saber blade created during the Muromachi period, and used mostly by samurais and ninjas. About the wakizaki you mentioned; those were similar blades but shorter, mostly used on indoors fights, while the katana is more fit for the open fields. Also, some of the fighting styles utilized both blades, even though the katana was meant to be used by both hands." The Russian finished his own little speech, but had a new one at the ready. "I do hope you know about samurais, the main holders of the katanas." He spoke solemnly and waited a second or two before restarting. "Grand noble warriors known for their skill with the blade, loyalty to their masters and, most of all, their discipline. If you want to learn the art of the katana, you ought to learn from the bests. And by that, follow their ways as well. You might want to escape it for now, but you will eventually clash with their knowledge, sooner or later." He spoke, warning the young Dasa about a simple fact of life. If you want to learn about something - anything - you will, eventually, face the works of the best in that subject.
