Hello to you all for this is my first post.
I am very interested in learning at least one style of Japanese sword art. So far ive considered Kendo at the UTKA (university of texas kendo associasion), i started having second thoughts about this because the classes are very popular and by no means are they small classes, if anyone knows of a central texas kendo school with smaller numbers please let me know.
Also while i was talking with and acuantince at www.swordarts.com he was saying that kendo is more of a traditional based "game", Id like somthing that is really traditional, so he told me about Kenjutsu, Iaijutsu, then i mentioned that id liek to learn two sword such as musashi practiced and mastered, he told me about Niten ichi Ryu, and refered to Jinenkan again, because i also told him earlier i was iterested in traditional Ninjitsu, and thats one o the ones he perscribed that i would consider taking. He also told me some kendo schools teach two sword shinai, but i dont know if UT does so.
Any information about any of the arts i listed in the centeral texas area would be exellent, and i would highley appreciate it. Danke.
