Looking to start..

Hello there,I do not have prior experience with martial arts,but i have been interested in swordplay for a while,especially Katanas.I live in Massachusetts(USA) and i do not believe there are studios around here that teach Iaito or other weapon based branches of martial arts,any ideas where i should start?Thanks.

Depends on where in Massachusettes you are. If Boston is ok, then I know two different places where Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu is being taught. A 6th dan and a 3rd dan. The 3rd dan has a website up at http://www.bostoniaido.com The 6th dan does not have a web presence of any kind, but is definitely the better option. I can put you in touch with his senior student via email if you are interested.

A Suio Ryu Iai Kenpo Study Group is located in Providence, Rhode Island.
