I am looking at Dojo's in my area, I have found one that I can work my schedule around. My question is, has any ever heard of or trained at Boston Kendo Kyokai and is this a good school for a beginner.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Kyle,
The Boston Kendo club is very good for beginers the people are very nice. I practice in Acton MA and the teacher came from that club, I also practice in Salem MA and that is also a very good club. Go watch a class and see what you think.

Check out http://www.doshikai.org/.

I trained there from Jan 1996 until Dec 2001 when I relocated from NH to MD.

I recommend Poitras-s. for both Kendo and Iaido.

I lived for almost four years in Manchester, NH, and for over 18 years in Merrimack, NH. I relocated to Ashton, MD, in December 2001 (2 years ago). I currently have three Iai students here. Doing Kyudo, Batto-do, Naginata and Jodo, there is no time left for Kendo here (although I have a choice of four clubs to practice with).

FYI, I was Barry's first Yudansha in Kendo AND Iaido, and his first Iai student to reach Sandan.

Hopefully, I will be in New England for the holidays and possibly dropping in on 29 Dec. for class.

Ray,
I'm currently teaching in Concord. If, while you're in the area, you have some time on a monday night, please stop by. We'd love to see you. Let me know and I'll give you directions.

Best regards,

Hi Brian,

I saw this post while doing a web search and was wondering if you could provide more info on the Concord class and also your contact info. Look forward to hearing from you and thanks.
