The Art of the Japanese Sword
This is something I hope to someday begin learning. It's called Iaido (pronounced ee-yi-doe). I have always had a real fascination with the Katana (Japanese sword) and the beauty and art of weilding it.
Sensei Nick Suino (pictured at right) teaches at the Institute of Traditional Asian Martial Arts dojo in E. Lansing about once a month. He is one of the most premier swordsmen in North America and a former student of Sensei Karl Scott, my sensei at the Asian Martial Arts Studio in Ann Arbor. I'm really lucky to be in the presence of SO many people that are so talented in the martial arts that also are able to instruct me.
Don has already started taking lessons from him and I would like to as well very soon. Right now, I'm working on getting myself back up to speed after my 3 month absence from karate, in preparation for the upcoming test in a couple months. Sensei Suino has already told me that he wants me to join his class. All I need to do is get permission from Mr. Scott and I'm all set.
