Does anyone know of any reputable dojo schools in the Vancouver area? I've done a google search and couldn't find anything. I was told that some kendo schools are linked to jodo, does anyone know of any?

Wow, just managed to remember my login after not replying to stuff for a year...

OK there is no ZNKR jodo in Vancouver or anywhere west of Guelph in Canada that I know of. (Maybe some of the Calgary iaido guys did some jodo at the May seminar but I think they were all doing Niten last May).

Phil Relnick, however, is in Seattle I believe and is years and years more experienced than the top guy in the CKF/ZNKR in Canada so if you're in Vancouver and you want to study Jodo, go ask him if you can practice. I suspect he won't make you wait outside the gate in the rain for too many days.
