An idea from The Book of Five Rings

Train with a sword in each hand from the start. One hand on the sword leaves the other free for a bow or spear, and on horseback or in a crowd, a two-handed grip gets in the way. “It will seem difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first.”

From The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi
