Internal Martial Arts
From time to time, I mentor individuals interested in deepening their practice of internal martial arts. When I do so, training generally occurs outdoors in the greater Seattle area. Some of the references listed on this site are helpful to gain a proper understanding of traditional martial arts and their mental, physical, and cultural prerequisites before training. It is not for everyone.
Kenjutsu
I also trained in classical kenjutsu, including Kashima-shinden Jikishinkage-ryū kenjutsu at the Hōbyōkan, before moving to Seattle. I then worked with a small number of people in order to maintain my practice. Two of my students now lead Jiki at Lonin in SODO. They accept new students interested in training after an observation and interview process.
