Western higher degree

I presented this at the meeting yesterday and it was well received. I asked about PLU and mentioned Colorado Springs. We need to start developing the lesson plan. This will be a leadership development camp and focus on the nuts and bolts of teaching kendo, what drills are for what and many other items.

Sounds very interesting. Colorado Springs you say? If this could be combined with some kind of trout fishing seminar I'd be really happy.

And also, there is a reason the "big" gradings take place in may an november just before the bonus season...


Regarding japanese gradings this is.

Actually, it is going to happen, next year. Just not as an All (except Hawaii) US Kendo Federation event. If anyone wants to attend such an event, just go to www.idaho-kendo.com and send me your contact info, and I will put you on the list of people wanting to be "in the loop" for this type of upper level kendo training in the US.

Anything ever come of this? I signed up on the site last year but never heard anything.

I am sorry you missed it but the only thing I am aware of on the site was the paperwork to sign up that you could download and send to me. Some folks had trouble with the download and I sent them the paperwork file via e-mail.

Sorry, maybe “signed up” isn’t the right term. I followed the advice of this post:

I hope it was successful and you’ll be doing it again sometime, and I’m able to make it.
