The closest Bujinkan school to you is about 145 miles north near St. Paul. There may be a study group of sorts in your area though. you may want to call them and see if they know anyone in your area that is teaching. It's the Bujinkan Mizu Nagare Dojo. you can find it at http://www.winjutsu.com/winlinks.html

As for iaido or wushu i can't help you there. Look around for an aikido school there. Some teach a loose for of iaido there. May be the closest you will come, or at least they may be able to point you in the right direction.

Hey I live in paynesville about 2 hours from the cities and I study Shotokan Karate. I am looking for a Kendo or Iaido school...

I found a school in Rochester for kendo, and one in ST. Paul for Iaido, and one in Minneapolis for Kendo are any of these locations good?

Hey guys I teach Aikido at a Kenjutsu school in St. Paul. For you guys in the southern part of the state, you may want to check out the Aikido club in Mankato

Hi!

Yes, all three are excellent. I have trained with both Kendo sensei, and I would highly recommend both. I am currently practicing with the Minnehaha Kendo Club in Minneapolis. I have talked to Peterson-sensei of the Mutokai Iaido dojo in St. Paul and he seemed very knowledgeable. I think he teaches Muso Shinden Ryu Iaido, if I remember right.

Before you go visit, be sure to call the sensei first to ask permission to watch a practice. This is standard and proper etiquette.

Good luck!
