Give the city near which you would like to practice kendo or iaido and we can point you in the direction of legitimate dojos. Don't take our advice on this issue and continue your backyard "training" and you will get nothing but mocking from the forum here.

Please don't think ill of us, but the "I don't really want to train, I just want to swing a sword" personality type comes through here pretty often.

Give us the city, follow through and join a real dojo, then we will be thrilled to offer you more advice. Ask us to teach you through the internet and I'd duck into a foxhole before it gets too late... I can here the artillery warming up as we speak.
