Hey all,
Longtime reader, first time poster (finally caved in and got an account). Having recently moved to Gifu-ken, Gifu-shi, I'm interested in looking up local or semi-local koryu groups. From the limited resources available to me, I've determined that there appears to be a Yagyu Shinkage-ryu dojo in nearby Nagoya. Unfortunately, Nagoya (as y'all know) is a BIG city, and said dojo is proving difficult to track down. I'd appreciate a bit of help in locating it.

As a side note, I'd be thrilled to know if there are additional ryu in the area (word on the street has it the Shinto Muso-ryu has some presence in Nagoya), so if you happen to know of a local dojo that's not Shinkage, please PM me with the info.

Thanks, guys! Keep the faith.

Howdy,


Hopefully we can get John Mark Dunn, Meik Skoss, or maybe Earl Hartman to help you. As far as I know they've all trained there.

Hi!

I'll just add one link to make things clear. Ben's link contains their training schedule with times and locations. Yagyu guys don't really have a dojo, they mainly train in different Nagoya city sports centers.

Here is the link to Nagoya City Education and Sports Promotion Agency. It contains the maps to these sports centers.

Cool. Thanks, guys! I'll try to check a practice out with my just-got-to-Japan-ese... see if bujutsu really is an art that transcends language... :P

Hi,

I am a disciple of Edo Yagyu Shinkage school in Yokohama.

Do you know Shidokan dojo in Oogaki-shi, Gifu?
It is a dojo studio of a Shinkage school of kendo quick draw of the sword road.
If you are interested, you should do a contact.
