New York/North Carolina Budo Fun - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Guys and girls,

I expect to find myself in NY & NC for a few days in late summer. Any budo-related fun to be had in these areas? It'd be nice to visit a dojo or two (providing I can sneak away from the mrs for a few hours!).

All the best...

Well, you've got a couple good kendojos there. The New York City Kendo Club, Kato-sensei's dojo and you've got the Triangle Kendo and Iaido Club in Raleigh.

I daren't take my bogu on holiday (the mrs would have a fit) - I was thinking more along the lines of koryu dojo to visit but not participate in...

I am aware of the Skoss' dojo in NY, but don't know any others.

Just so happens that I have several bogu sets along with hakama and keiko gi.

Scott,

The NYC Kendo Club is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Kataoka- sensei, Noburo Kataoka, heads the club, which is located in the 5th floor gym of a church on the East Side of Manhattan. I'm sure you would be most welcome. They're on the web, www.nyckendo.com
Cheers!

try webjunkie, he's near Raleigh... also Carl Long lives in North Carolina, (probably the best MJER guy in the USA?) although its a bit 'out in the sticks'... going to a dojo in Charleston in June myself...mainly karate/ju jitsu dojo, but some guys are starting sword.

Last I saw, Carl Long was located in Kingston, PA.

Only MJER guy in NC, that I know of, is Greg Huff.
