Exactly!!! I understand your argument but it is a good Dojo with very good teachers and students and I like my dojo very much and while some of you are politely questioning its legality which I can respect others are just plain badmouthing it.

I'm sure the people are respectable individuals but looking at the information available from their own sources calls into question the legitimacy of the entire school. Being a good instructor of something that isn't legitimate makes you wonder if they knowingly are scamming people.

This brings me to my questions for you: would you continue practicing something knowing you've been practicing a made up martial art? What specific kenjutsu school does your school claim influence? Why does your kendo look so different from kendo that the rest of the world practices?

Also, Annonymous may be blunt but he does have a point. What you do is hands down nothing like anything real kenjutsu looks like. Look at kata from Yagyu Shinkage Ryu, Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu, Kashima Shinto Ryu, or Owari Kan Ryu just to name a few.

Please understand, I'm not trying to antagoize or belittle you. I ask these specific questions because I want to know exactly what is being taught to students of this particular school.
