Iaido Dojo

Does anyone know of an Iaido dojo near San Luis Obispo CA?

Hi, I am moving to SLO in September. I have been looking for both Iaido and Kendo in that area for the last four months, with no luck. For Kendo ( I know you didn't ask about that ) there is a gap between Salinas and Santa Barbara. Either is I believe like a 1 ½ hour drive from SLO. For Iaido I have had nothing but disappointment. Iai seams to be abundant in the San Francisco and LA areas, but nothing I have found is any closer than that. The responses to my inquiries have been things like self teaching and seminars. If you find something PLEASE let me know. I'll do the same. Also If you have an interest in training together or company for the long rides to LA or San Francisco let me know.

I'll get my list of the closest dojos in the San Francisco and LA areas and post it here or send it to you.

Try contacting the Jikishinkai at the following URL. I'm not too familiar with the geography of Southern California, but they seem to have a number of branches down there.

Good luck.
