Welcome to MT
I see on your bio that you practice kosho ryu kempo. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that was the art initially created by mitose, rather than a branch from one of his students, I believe?

Hello Pink lady6000, Its the art of fighting with the sword once is drawn, It's not practiced as a competitive or "free fighting" ,Its still pretty intense but very safe. it's taught and practiced through Kata/pre-arranged movements. I actually have several girls in our club! They love it. More info here: About Iaido
we are having a seminar in October.
Thanks for the Question!

It looks like a beautiful aesthetic. The sword itself is a beautiful object regardless of its deadly intent.

Welcome aboard, Thomas.

I note that, when asked about kenjutsu, you sent a link to a page on Iaido (MJER)… what ryu of kenjutsu have you studied/do you teach?
