Many people imagine two-katana fighting as something cool and strong. But how realistic is it?

The two-katana style is only strong under certain circumstances. And if you haven’t fully mastered fighting with one katana first, you won’t be able to properly handle them. For a beginner, you’ll probably have a higher chance of winning if you just simply use one katana. The training with two katana is meant for someone who has enough experience in fighting with one katana to further develop their skills.

By the way, two-katana style is usually fought with an Uchi-katana and a Wakizashi, but there are some Ryuha styles that use the same length katana too.
