These are 9 questions Luke Fryer asked Ozeki-sensei.

I remembered that the essence of Japanese martial arts is not to draw ones katana and at the same time do not makes one's opponent draw his katana, but it is also important to prepare yourself and care for your katana.
If one must draw one's katakana then it must be with the intention of cutting (Rough translation of the above Japanese). However, in my opinion it is best to never have to use your katana.
This world is one I wanted to be apart of. Through research I found Daito Ryu Aiki Jujutsu, and knew that it was the roots of Aikido. I then discovered Takeda Sokaku who was a recently deceased master of Daito Ryu.
Then through Meiji Hiroshi Sensei (teacher of Kempodo Soshinjuku) I came to know Ootsuka Toranosuke Sensei , who was the head teacher for Kyushu Daito Ryu Aikibudo Daitokan in Kumamoto.
