It's a very sportified version of sword play. Looks like a lot of fun and excellent exercise, but it is not kenjutsu. _________________________ Iaido - Breaking down bad habits, and building new ones.

Charles Mahan Professional Poster Registered: 06/14/04 Posts: 2502 Loc: Denton, Tx, USA	Nope. I'm training up in Denton at John Ray's MJER dojo. We are not part of the Kendo Renmei, but rather directly under the MJER soke's organization. http://www.dentondojo.com Feel free to drop by and watch a class. The schedule is on the website.
