The 2008 HyoHo Niten Ichiryu Seminar with Colin Watkin

Calgary, Alberta. August 21 - 24, with Colin Watkin, Menkyo.
Imai Soke Judai demonstrating Chudan Kamae

The HyoHo Niten Ichiryu (two heavens as one school) was developed by Miyamoto Musashi, author of the "Book of Five Rings" (Go Rin no Sho) and one of Japan's most famous swordsmen. The school dates from the early 1600s and its most distinctive feature is its concurrent use of both the long and short swords. The current headmaster of the school is Toshio Iwami Juichidai (11th headmaster). http://www.hyoho.com/inuag.html

Classes will be taught at the Salvation Army Children's Village School gymnasium, Calgary, Alberta
