Greetings, I have been looking for years to start Kendo. I am now 21, but I really really really want to learn. Is there any possible resource on the net, or any books recommended?

The only school appears to be 3-4 hours away, if thats even the right school, and I have a few friends who also want to learn. You can only get so far training without help, so if anyone has suggestions, or a database listing schools, that would be really helpful. I read somewhere that there are only a few actual masters in the US, the rest are frauds and stuff, so I just want to know. I think learning by a fraud would be better then not learning anything at all.


Thanks for any help you might be able to give. I read some of the posts here, and I could probably learn a lot just from reading and watching your discussions.

Hey JP I am just in the middle of sending you an e-mail. But thanks for the plug. Hey yea we are practicing on Wed. from 8pm untill 10pm and on Sat. from 1pm untill 4pm. But the Sat classes are subject to change in a few weeks if the students keep coming out. Please feel free to come on up and practice as my doors are always open. But may want to call or write first to make sure the times are correct. E-mail me at kendoshiai@aol.com. Thanks guys.

I want to thank you VERY VERY much. I did send an email off. I have looked at the Orlando page. I hope to stop by one of the weekends to check it out.

Thanks again for the quick response, I figured it would take a few weeks. :D

If I take a few weeks to answer back it would be because I am dead. Or doing Kendo :). I just sent you a reply back to your e-mail. Feel free to bring as many people as you want. The more the better. Kendo is even better when you share.:)
