I also heard about chanbara, which looks fun but also uses some weapons I am not interested in. And well, I'd prefer to learn the bokken over the jô. jô, the knowledge seems to be centered only around the jô and the bokken is anecdotic. Jôdô looks great, but although the katas are done bokken vs. Kendô does not attract me very much mainly because of the use of shinais instead of bokkens/katanas/iatos - yes, this is kind of stupid but shinais don't have this curved-shape I love about katanas. Iaidô seems really interesting particularly for its spiritual aspect but I am hesitant because of the fact every kata is done alone and there are no fights against an opponent. However, most dôjô only teach battodô to people who are already advanced kendokas or iaidokas - which is not my case.
I did some research and found about the battodô, which seems great. I am particularly attracted by arts in which I will learn to use traditional weapons and more particularly the katana although I'd also enjoy learning to use the bô, jô and yari. However, I still love the philosophy of it, and would like to get back to the dôjô to practice another japanese martial art.
I stopped practising judô and jiu-jitsu some years ago, at a blue belt level, because I wasn't enjoying this martial art as much as I used to.
