    Hi Kaoru,

    Your mailbox is full, so posting here.

    You may remember me from various mails a few years ago - I opened a MWKF seitei / Musoshindenryu iaido dojo here in Moorhead MN in 2007.

    I know you said you were in the ?Brainerd? area doing kendo somewhere? Are you in the MWKF?

    I was curious if you had heard about our seminar that we hosted last summer with the MWKF?

    I know some people had attended because they heard of the event through Kendo World, I was just curious if you had heard of it as well?

    We will be hosting another event next year, and hope to get even more people. We had 26 participants plus two sensei last year.

    Just thought I'd touch base.

    Good evening miss kaoru i don't believe you will remember me but we spoke some years back about a kendo club in Puerto Rico and i feel that i should apologize to you. Your intentions of questioning the sources of the instructor were correct and i was just too overzealous to want to train to listen. The subject in question was a Samuer Guerrios. I have been with him for the past years initially with the intention of learning kendo, iaido and karate-do but ended up just learning karate but recently i had to part with him after learning some very disturbing things from his past and some difficulties between him and i. I am currently looking for somewhere new to train and have found some other dojo in the island. If you are not still angered by my attitudes from before i would appreciate your input in these new dojos and would gladly further explain my experiences in kendo/iaido from the last few years.

    Hi Kaoru san,
    I keep coming across your posts and am hoping to request your help in my quest. I started kendo since we last spoke and find it exhilarating....but my true interests still lie in the koryu...esp the katori shinto ryu.

    I was looking up some of the links on your posts and they are no longer working (as expected-its been a while since they were posted) I have been interested int raining with the Katori Shinto ryu for a while....besides them being a Koryu school they seem to be the fountainhead for multiple other schools. I have written to both Phil Relnick and Chad Bruttomusso multiple times (twice) with no success....Recently I found this link
    http://www.sugawarabudo.com/atlanta_katori.html
    about a gentleman, Lotfi Kasraie , who says he is an instructor of the ryu here in Atlanta...now I am not sure if this is indeed the case but since there is so little on the web about the ryu's instructors I was hoping to open this up to the floor...any insights?

    thanks
    Tom

    Hi Kaoru
    How are you?
    I found a post about a martial arts class in Iaido and Kendo in Atlanta. Could you tell me more?
    Thanks

    Hey Kaoru. I'm in Minnesota, too and I've wanted to train in Japanese sword for... ever. I looked around and only found a place called Kaishin Dojo, run by a guy named Al Kilgore. I did a google search for him before I signed up, and turned up all these threads questioning his knowledge in the arts. I want to know from you, where are all or some of the sword schools in Minnesota?
