Joshua,

Sorry for the late reply. Ken Pitchford sensei, who teaches martial arts at the Japanese Culture Center in the Chicago, Illinois area, is a student of Yonehara sensei from Kumamoto. Yonehara sensei is the soke of Sekiguchi ryu (Higo ryu iai) and a menkyo-kaiden in Hyoho niten ichi ryu. Pitchford sensei studies both of these arts from Yonehara sensei.

You can obtain more information about the Japanese Culture Center in Chicago, and Pitchford sensei from the web site www.japaneseculturecenter.com.
