I´d like to study a koryu Swordstyle in Germany. Unfortunaltely I have no idea where I can find a dojo. Do you have some adresses for me?

There is a well-recommended Kashima Shinryu group right there in Frankfurt. I think someone else already posted the website (http://www.kashima-shinryu.de/frame.html).

You can probably find an iaido dojo, likely, I think, Muso Shinden Ryu. MSR isn't kenjutsu as such, but is koryu and most MSR dojo include training in paired sets as well as solo.

There is also a Shinto Muso Ryu group training in Frankfurt at an aikido dojo as well. Good folks, under Pascal Krieger's organization. I can ask a friend who trains with them for contact info if you're interested.

Can't speak of the Katori Shinto Ryu folks in Germany, don't know anything about them.

There are several Shinkendo Dojos in Germany. Shinkendo is not a koryu, but is a comprehensive system of swordsmanship. Full background information is available at www.shinkendo.com.

Best of luck in your search.
