Joe Bass

[Steven Malanosk]

Does anyone know Joe Bass, a Kendo / Iaido teacher from Florida?

[KendoShiai]

Yes he teaches in the Ft. Myers area. His club is a member of the South East United States Kendo Federation. I don’t remember what rank he holds though. As I remember when I was sitting on the SEUSKF board we admitted him as a San Dan or Yondan, I cant remember exactly. This was about 6 years ago. I talk to him often but have never seen him Kekio. Why do you ask if I may?

I shared a dojo with him "Kyoshi Joe Bass", for awhile.which we called BuShiKan.

He taught Kendo and Iaido as well as Ueichi Ryu Karate.and KoBuDo.
While I ran seperate classes of JuJitsu and GoJu Karate, and KoBuDo.

I also did Omori Ryu with him, in which I obtained my yudansha grade in IaiDo through his organization, The United States Kendo and Weapons Assoc. which I beleive he has changed the name of.

Just wondering if anyone knew of him.
