Not much iai in Montreal? Man, I wish I lived were there was much Iai. Here we are in Ottawa, 1 Iai club, and I thought montrealers had it nice with all the clubs they had. There's the Shidokan Iaido (and kendo) club (Iai under Robert Miller, MSR), Kimochi Iaido (under Serge Laporte, MSR), Nihon Shiki (under Robert Thivierge, MSR), and I know there's a Jikishi-kai (MJER) affiliated group too, I just can't find the details at the moment. Heard that it's headed by Miura Takeyuki's daughter or relative in some way.Originally posted by AlexM
Hello,
There is no kenjutsu (well, not legitimate kenjutsu) or much iaido in Montreal, so we're one of the only options for the hoards of samurai wannabe (the first newbie that comes in with a topknot will be submitted to torture by mockery).
At least 4 clubs in there, and that's not much Iaido? *shakes head*. I guess living in Japan should be the only option then, because I sure don't know anywhere with that many Iai clubs near here other than Montreal. Not that I'm disappointed with my dojo or anything, it's still great .
