Iaido in Minneapolis/St.Paul

[pgsmith]

I don't know that he has the resources to get up to Indianapolis often enough to make it worthwhile, but he has your name already Andrew. You may be hearing from him.

As one of my instructors used to lament ... so many arts, so little time!

[Rennis]

so at least former students in the area have an option if they don't mind converting to the darkside that is Eishin-ryu...

Good god why would someone want to do a thing like that....

Paul-san,

Your student is heading to Bloomington? I've heard a rumor that a young genetleman from Japan will be at Indiana University for a few years (maybe just a year) who has nidan or sandan in Shinto-ryu iai-battojutsu and has been given permission to teach a bit. Do you want me to forward some info to you when I find out more?

Do you want me to forward some info to you when I find out more?

Absolutely, that would be great!

Thanks Andrew.

Moorhead too far? It is about a 3.5 to 4 hour drive from the Cities, but we welcome any visitors any time. By the way, our url is www.musoshindenryu.com
Good luck in your search!

I guess I am still thinking in the European way, so anything beyond an hour or two is too far. The second thing is that I do not have a car, and that first year grad students do not have very much free time. So right now I prefer something in Twin Cities.

Last year, up here it hit 45 below zero F, with windchill during the morning to mid-day. It stunk!! It did that for several days, too. Much too cold to go out.
Hope you get lucky and it doesn't do that this year!

Well, good luck in your new dojo! I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks I like winter but this just may be too much Oh well, we'll see how it goes.

Hello,

I started teaching Hoki-ryu iaido at Yobushin dojo again about 2 months ago.
Need to get my web site updated with this info.

Rennis, Andrew, hi!

PG, nice name!

Outstanding!
Welcome back to the grind Paul! I am going to try and send someone in your direction. Haven't heard from him lately, so I don't know if my contact information for him is still good or not.

Thanks for the heads-up though!

Paul-san,

Great news about teaching Hoki-ryu again. I had been informed that you might have started back up recently. We should get together sometime and compare notes. I've never actually experienced Hoki-ryu on the mat. PM me.
