Hi - just checking in from Chandler, AZ. I am currently studying Kenjutsu and would like to study Iaido very soon. My background is in internal arts such as Kempo, Aikido and Baghua. I also have a strong addiction to Taiga dramas.

Welcome aboard! I think you'll find many similar things in iado and the aikido you've studied. The foot work should be very close.

Konnichi wa, Leathe, hajimemashite.

Which style of iai are you looking into studying? Regardless, it'll be a pleasure to have another slinger-of-steel around the place :tup:.

Well, the most logical would be Araki Ryu, since Kenshin Dojo is in Phoenix. I am also reading a book on Eishin Ryu right now. There is also a Shinkendo school close by, if I get the urge to cut things. Right now, I am taking it slow and putting my effort into kenjutsu.
