Very cool pix, Diane. Thanks.

It was extremely frustrating to be a teacher this Labor Day; mine was spent sorting out the usual beginning of semester stuff instead of getting over to St. Louis where I really wanted to be. Hopefully I will be able to attend next year, if it's on again. TY for the pictures, they are fantastic! My appreciation and admiration for all participants.

We're all of us just bozos on the budo bus and there's no point in looking to us for answers regarding all the deep and important issues.--M. Skoss.
Thanks Diane!
Looks like an interesting time was had by all.

Once again koryu bugei will be demonstrated at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis, Missouri. The event will take place September 4 - September 6, 2010.
Arts demonstrated will include: Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto ryu, Yagyu Shinkage ryu, Toda ha Buko ryu, Takeuchi ryu and Shinto Muso ryu. Those demonstrating include: Phil Relnick, Nobuko Relnick, Meik Skoss, Diane Skoss, Wayne Muromoto and Dave Lowry. Those listed participants are all licensed members (some with full authority) of the ryuha they are demonstrating. This is a wonderful opportunity, as this is one of the larger demonstrations outside of Japan, to witness these fabulous arts.
Please see the attached link for additional details.

Hope to see you there.

I'd like to get my brother and his dojo to attend. Do you have any photos or video links from last years demonstration I can send him.
Thanks

I have seen video on youtube of the gendai arts that are demonstrated but I have not seen any on the koryu bugei. I have some photos from last year somewhere I will see if I can locate them and make some of them available. I know there are photos on koryu.com from a couple of years back.

i was there and saw the last half of their demo on Saturday. It was spectacular!
It makes it all the more confusing and frustrating though, because i couldn't find any info on who was presenting. No mention of schools, or dojos or whatever. The Japanese Festival's program notes didn't say ANYTHING about them.
What can one do if they found the demonstration fascinating and beautiful and was looking for more info or perhaps even training with them?
i mean, they were AWESOME. Surely i wasn't the only one hungry for more info.
(in fact, googling Koryu Bugei after their demo is how i got to this site)
All very mysterious and strange!

I don't know who was involved this year, but I do think Meik and Diane Skoss are usually involved every year. Their website, which is sort of information central for koryu matters in the English language, is http://www.koryu.com
