Thank you very much for the replies. This is helping me a lot.

For those of you interested, I'm located in Salem, MA. I'm 25 minutes north of Boston on the North Shore.

The dojo that is right down the road from me is Shodokan: http://www.shodokan.org/5kendo/kendo.html.

I'm afraid that in terms of sword work they only do Kendo, which seems a little different than what I'm interested in. I think iaido is what I'm looking for. The emphasis on katas, and solo work without sparring interests me.

Any ideas? I'll probably go to a kendo class next Wed. simply to observe and talk to the sensei.

Thanks again. Your responses have been very informative.
