    Hi all,

    I am interested in learning Iaido, I'm down on the south coast UK.

    Does anyone know of any decent schools that might be down by Portsmouth/Brighton way?

    Thanks,

    R4and0m

    The British Kendo Association has an extensive club directory.

    You'd do well to start with that...

    I would suggest asking this question on the Kendo World Forum, as there are quite a number of British iaidoka that post there.

    Thanks for the advice and info, I've seen the Shinbukai site which say's there are classes in Portsmouth and in Brighton.

    Has anyone trained with these guys>

    Yeah? DO you know anything about them? I'd be looking at their Portsmouth branch I think, run by John Piper 5th Dan.
