Niten Ichi Ryu Kenjutsu..how far is a dojo from my location?

[emokidjin]

Hi, I live in Harrisburg PA when not at college, in Mansfield PA when in college and i was wondering if anyone could tell me how close the closest Niten Ichi Ryu Kenjutsu dojo is. I am not quite ready to start the sword arts yet because of money restrictions, but I do however want to soon and I was wondering if anyone can help me out. Thanks

Niten Ichi is fairly rare, if I'm not mistaken. I'll let one of the Niten guys answer the where bit.

The general advice for people looking for a dojo is to figure out what is available in your area and choose from that list. Qualified instruction in genuine Japanese koryu is hard to find. Unless you are willing to relocate out of state, or possibly cross country, you may not be able to find what you are looking for anywhere nearby.

I know for a fact there is a highly trained Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu instructor in the DC area, but that's the closest I can get you. There should be other styles a little closer to home.

If you follow the advice of the previous poster, there is a dojo in the Harrisburg area you might check out. The Itten Dojo, in Mechanicsburg, I believe, has some good resourses for sword. Not Niten Ichi, but good resourses none the less.
