This morning I was standing in the coffee shop, waiting for my coffee when I read something interesting. Of all the journals to read about a Katori Shinto Ryu Dojo in, the Magazine from the Weekend Australian was not one I would have thought of!

I can't remember the guy who was profiled but he was an Aussie Businessman I think. This is his Australian Sensei's website

Definitely interesting reading at the coffeshop for a change - lots of nice glossy photos of practice. :)

Hehe...we are already digging our tunnel through the planet to nab her, drug her (again) and bring her back.

She is sorely missed, UK jodo especially has become a bit fractured since her departure.

Just curious as to how long their website has been up. It's good.

Did you catch the pictures in the Magasine Jason? Very nice spread - normally these sort of articles only have a couple of pictures but this one had lots.

Shame - I meant to nab it but forgot in my rush for Coffee. You could give the publisher a call. I tried searching on their online page but you have to pay :rolleyes:

Has anyone actually trained there before? How is it? I plan to join soon as it is about an hours drive south from here.

There's another Katori Shinto branch in Perth also. Mochizuki ha, which has had a continual presence since the mid 1970's. Still continueing through the Shuntoshutokai Kobudo group.

Mochizuki ha resembles the main line of Tenshin Shoden ha more closely but not exactly. Mochizuki has a slightly different line. The Kieshankan group is Sugino ha.

Always interesting to re-read your own posts from 8 years ago!

Umm, the most recent post on your website refers to the honden as 'Otake-ha'... this is not wholly appropriate.

Be well,
