Their web site initially looks very good, with lots of information on general history (the history of Shinkage-ryu, however, has a lot of glaring holes), the techniques in the photos leave a bit to be desired, and I couldn't find anything about the sensei, not even a name, or who he trained with. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough, but that's usually an early warning sign.

Head over to www.e-budo.com and ask the same question there. A quick search on Noble House kenjutsu on their board and the responses there, particularly from Meik Skoss, probably one of the most experienced and qualified practitioners of Shinkage-ryu outside Japan, don't lend themselves to confidence in the legitimacy of the school.

If you want a challenge, I would recommend you give kendo a go. Its easy to find legitimate schools in Canada, and their level is very good. The basis of all kenjutsu schools is person to person combat, kendo is no different.
