They are strictly decorative. I do plan on buying a 'real' katana in the future. I keep my Bokken upsairs in my room (to deal with intruders and a paintball gun for backup.)I had done a bit of sword training in my younger years with my first instructor in Wado Ryu. When we moved to the mainland I joined a Kyokushin dojo. Had to quit that when I went into the army. When I got out I joined an MMA dojo and got my brown belt in Pankration and supplemented that with Muay Thai. Due to having a child now and a recovering back injury, I am on the mend and have taken up Escrima stick fighting in the meantime. When I go back to Pankration it should only take me another year or so to get my black belt and then I'll start instructing.

I think I may try that vertical 150 approach later this afternoon.
I also have 4 little Yammy speakers, and may hook up two of them for the 'height' speakers in the front. I have extra wre kicking around and I know my receiver supports that too.

Once again, thanks to the Axiom Community. You guys rock.
