Greetings all -
Here's my question...I'm in the Army, so I move around ALOT and am (once again) stationed NO WHERE near a teacher of ANY Sword Art (Kendo, Iai, etc)....what is a poor guy to do. Anyone have any comments on how to "stay up" when faced with the dilemma of having NO direct instruction available? The world abounds with books, videos, etc - but those things scare me to death. There's a million charletains for every good instructor WITHOUT throwing the "distance learning" element in. I'd appreciate any comments from those who've been in my shoes. Hurts to be without a teacher, I can tell you...
Thanks a bunch,
Brett
