Ryuseiken Battodo

Japanese swordfighting

Now that the holidays are coming up, the classes are generally winding down for a few weeks until we start again.

UofA

The UofArizona battodo budokai just ended last Friday. We'll start again after the first week of school. I'll be teaching on Wednesdays from 5:30-7:30, and the sempais will be available on Fridays at the same time. The location is the same as before: the Student Recreation Center on 6th St & Highland Ave, usually upstairs either in Dance Room B or in one of the racquetball courts.

Catalina Foothills High School

The highschool and jr high students have classes this week and next, which will likely be quite light. It should start again in the second week of January, but I don't have a confirmed time as yet. Hopefully, we will have the proper gym room next semester, unlike the cafeteria space we use now.

Kodenkan

The Kodenkan classes will continue on Saturdays 3 - 4:30pm on the 15th and 22nd, and then skip a week and return on January 5th. Shihan will still be in Japan, so I will be teaching the classes.

Students from the other classes are welcome to join the Kodenkan one for December but classes in January onwards will require you to sign up/pay officially.

The Knighthawk Armoury builds some interesting realistic looking goshinken. They're expensive but they claim to be pretty durable (not yet tested by us).
