A major update for EJMAS.com for your summer beach reading with new articles in four journals.

http://ejmas.com/thismonth.html

Check out the seminars below, if you're in the area beginners are welcome at all of the events except the fall jodo seminar in Toronto where you will need a minimum of first kyu.

As always, remember to check our sponsors first for your equipment and instructional needs.

Add a new art to your dojo: If you would like to introduce a new art to your dojo, and are interested in Japanese sword and stick arts, please get in touch. We can offer short seminars in a number of different schools. Yes this is a blatant attempt to get more students involved in our particular passions but it is also a nice way to expand your understanding of your own art.

Keep swinging!
