Does anyone know where to buy the official zen nihon iai renmei book with illustrations of the kata? My sensei has been photocopying for me, but I'd like to have a copy of my own. (Even though my sensei puts nice little notes on anatomy in the margins of his copies...)

i went to several book stores in my city, and none of them had it. one of the clerks was downright insulting. he took me to a section that had only one iai book, and he said, "There are many books here," then left. He thought I was some ignorant foreigner trying to learn martial arts from a book or something. (Everything in the section was a 'junior sports series' book or about Bruce Lee...) Enough ranting on that... But anyone know where I can get the book?

My dear friend,

The All Japan Kendo Federation produced a new tape about Zen Nihon Kendo Renmei Seitei (in english, also). You can order through the federation.

I have this tape and two books: A black cover with Tanaya Masami Sensei printed in 1990 (bought at a Kendo shop in Tokyo), and a brown hard cover with Kawaguchi Toshihiko Sensei printed 1995 (present from a Sensei, but you can buy it in a Kendo shop, also).

Also, two weeks ago I video-taped the iai demonstration at the Budokan!

Gambatte kudasai!

Kendokamax, you already flood the forums with virtual verbal diarrhoea. Desist already. Some of us are trying to get important information. Stop being a troll.
