Greetings all,
I am soon moving to Bangkok, Thailand and looking for a place to continue practicing. I am currently studying Nakamura Ryu Battodo (2-dan), Mugai Ryu Iaihyodo Meishi-ha (1-dan), and Shindo Muso Ryu Jodo of the Nihon Jodokai (with a small exposure to, but no rank in, Seitei Iai and Omori Ryu from an Eishin Ryu perspective), and have also studied Atarashii Naginata (1-dan) and kendo (1-kyu). If nothing else, I'm looking for somewhere to continue to practice while making semi-annual trips to Japan, when possible.
If anyone has any information on good sources, I would appreciate it. I did see that there was a 'dojo' marker on the Suimokai website (http://www.iai.gr.jp/dojo/) and asked about it, but haven't received much information on what that means. I've also talked with my instructor about a potential training partner for Nakamura Ryu. Finally, I did come across the Chulalongkorn University Kendo Club.
Any other thoughts or advice? FYI, I've also posted a similar question to Swordforum.
