Anyone know a place I could be trained with a sword

As in a particular dojo, or like a wide open space where you won't be disturbed??

A fencing club perhaps?

Try looking for Iaido or Kendo clubs in your area. A search on the internet should come up with pages for Associations in your country that will have a list of clubs.

 

Here are some examples:

 

British Kendo Association: http://www.kendo.org.uk/

 

European Kendo Federation: http://www.ekf-eu.com/

 

Kendo America: http://www.kendo-usa.org/

 

Canadian Kendo Federation: http://kendo-canada.com/

 

Hope that helps

P.S. As for a place to train.. don't try it at home.. you'll break things, as i found out

:lol:

 

That's a great mental image!

Sometimes Aikido dojos also teach Iaido. Budo Taijutsu teaches sword techniques along with alot of other weapons. Look for Iaido, Kenjutsu, Kendo (Sport), Iai (Drawing Techniques). Shinkendo, Botto-Jutsu, Iaijutsu. Look at this site it might help.

I'm a lover of the sword myself. Have fun and good luck.
