Hi I'm new to the forum. I've searched for previous threads relating to Kenjutsu in Toronto, there is one but the thread is 6 or so years old and perhaps a lot of outdated information, so decided to start a new one.
I'm new to Kenjutsu and I've attended one Katori Shinto Ryu class in Toronto. I enjoyed it very much as the katas are performed at speed. I am however interested in seeing if Hokushin Itto-Ryu is taught in Toronto because from what I gather, Hokushin Itto-Ryu includes sparring in their curriculum.
The search has not been easy, and my assumption now is that Hokushin Itto-Ryu is nowhere to be found in Toronto. However, I have read some posts here where some members mentioned that there are dojos that are not listed and are word of mouth only, so I am here to try my luck.
If I don't find Hokushin Itto-Ryu, I would also look around to see what else is available before committing to the study. I do know in the city there are the following ryus being taught:
- Katori Shinto Ryu
- Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu
- Shindo Yoshin Ryu
- Yagyu Shinkage Ryu
If there are any other ones available, please let me know, Hokushin Itto-Ryu would be top choice for me, if it exists in the city.
Thanks!
