Yagyu Shinkage-ryu in Europe?

[giovanni de cesare]

I'm interested in Yagyu Shinkage-ryu kenjutsu.
Anyone know if are there teachers of this ryu in Europe and particularly in Italy?
Many thanks for your help

Yes, there are a few people training in Yagyu Shinkage-ryu in Europe, primarily in Italy, especially in Milan. They are part of the local kendo scene, so talk to the kendo folks about it.

The teacher is the Italian national coach, Hirano, one of the strongest members of the Yagyukai and a *very* good swordsman. I don't think that the people in Italy are all that experienced yet, but they're very nice and they work pretty hard (judging by the ones who visited us in Tokyo a couple of years ago).

Hope this helps.
