Any other sword arts other than MJER in North Texas? Coming from a Ninjutsu background I'd love to find a kenjutsu dojo which trains hard.

Sword arts in the DFW area other than John Ray's MJER dojo in Denton ...
Robert Lange teaches Fred Lovret's Tenshin Ryu kenjutsu out in Lancaster ... http://www.nikkodojo.net/
Joe Bostick teaches the Higo line of Shin Shin Sekiguchi Ryu battojutsu out in Cleburne. At least, I think he still does. I haven't talked to him in several years. More information on Sekiguchi Ryu can be found here ... http://www.ryushinkandojo.com/index2.htm
The Dallas Kendo and Iaido Kyokai teaches kendo and seitei iaido in Addison. Here is a link to their web site ...http://www.dfwkik.org/
I run an official study group for Meishi-ha Mugai ryu in Richardson just off of Central and Spring Valley. Information about our branch of Mugai ryu can be found here ... http://suimokai.pupu.jp/english/suimokai.html
That's pretty much all of the sword arts that I'm familiar with in the area. There are a few X-kan dojo that have some sword in their curriculum. However, it is only a small part of their art, and there are far more crap ninja dojo out there than good ones. Let me know if you are interested in any of those, and I can tell you which ones I would trust.

There is also a Takamura-ha Shindo Yoshin Ryu group in DFW. Nasty stuff! Here's a link:

Hey Dave,
I didn't know the local group did any of the sword work, that's good to know. Very cool jujutsu though!

I missed out on the Takamura-ha Shindo Yoshin Ryu group!!
Any other suggestions? Preferably something with a really intense jujutsu component?
