Iaido school

[Dhawk]

Hello, I live in the New Albany Indiana, Louisville Kentucky area , and I was wondering if anyone knew of an Iaido class being held in this area. I would be thankful for any information recieved about this.

The closest school around here that teaches Iaido that I know of around here is unfortunately in Covington, Ky at 8:00 Sunday Mornings.

Dhawk,
Thomas is close to correct. The school in Covington, the Northern Kentucky Kendo Club does not teach koryu Iaido. What they study together is the Zen Nippon Kendo Renmei Seitei Iaido (abb ZNKR), this is the approved iaido of the All Japan Kendo Federation.
There is also a second choice available to you. There is a club in Indianapolis (IndyBudokan) which also trains in Muso Shinden-ryu Iaido as well as ZNKR. They train on Saturdays from 12:00 to 1:30. I have never been up there but have corresponded via email with the instructor, Andrew (last name escapes me). My understanding is that Andrew is very well respected in the martial arts community. The website is www.indybudokan.com Andrew's email is info@indybudokan.com
I hope this helps
