Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,
Ryan from the adult class sent me some information regarding an upcoming seminar in Kingston that you may be interested in attending. It takes place on Saturday, March 10. It’s a combined all-day seminar for iaido, jodo and kendo and will be attended by Kim Taylor (6th Dan Renshi-iaido, 4th Dan-jodo), Stephen Cruise (6th Dan Renshi-iaido, 5th Dan-kendo) and Goyo Ohmi (7th Dan Renshi-iaido, 6th Dan-kendo), with the possible addition of Matthew Raymond (5th Dan-kendo, Nito practitioner and Team Canada member). The amount of time dedicated to each discipline will depend on how many people sign up for each type. I haven’t received a lot of information so far but I think this should be open to bogu folks 12 and up as the Yoshida-sensei visit worked out pretty well with a few younger members participating.
Kim Taylor, Sei Do Kai (University of Guelph) http://www.uoguelph.ca/%7Eiaido/iai.kim.html
Stephen Cruise, Etobicoke http://www.etobicokekendoiaido.com/instructors.shtml
Goyo Ohmi, JCCC http://www.jccciaido.com/
Matthew Raymond, U of T http://www.uoftkendo.com/club.html
Please let me know if you would be interested in attending and which discipline you would like to sign up for (can be any or all of: iaido, kendo or jodo). I think you’ll be at least allowed to watch the other disciplines if you choose not to participate and there’s no extra charge for attending more than 1 type. I have a bokken with saya and sageo that someone can borrow if they want to try iaido. Cost of the seminar is $30 and includes lunch. I haven’t received any information regarding a deadline to get a combined list of all interested members from our club sent to the organizers so I’ll make up an arbitrary one to get people going. Please let me know if you will be attending and what discipline(s) you’re interested in by Monday, February 19.
Katherine
PS Thanks, Ryan!

Tak Yoshida (5th Dan) will be visiting us from JCCC, courtesy of Mike Arai. Adults and children with bogu (12 and up) are invited to attend. There will be some folks from Tateyama attending as well, so it should be an excellent learning opportunity for everyone.
Thanks to Mike-sensei for putting this together!
