Shindokan Dojo is once again proud to welcome Carl Long, Kyoshi, of the KNBK, for his long awaited return for a weekend seminar on authentic classical Japanese sword arts. We also welcome you to join us for what will certainly be weekend of instruction of extremely high caliber. Sensei will provide instruction in the koryu traditions of Muso Jikiden Eishin-ryu Iaijutsu and Ono-ha Itto-ryu Kenjutsu. While access to instruction in the koryu sword arts is slowly becoming more widely available, instruction at the level that will be experienced during this seminar remains quite rare indeed. It is important to note that Ono-ha Itto-ryu, an art that has directly influenced the more modern arts of Kendo, Aikijujutsu and Aikido, remains almost completely inaccessible outside of Japan. The KNBK is the only source of instruction in the mainline of Ono-ha Itto-ryu in North America! This is indeed a great and unique opportunity to study real koryu!

An exemplary teacher of authentic Japanese and Okinawan martial Arts, Long Kyoshi serves as the Vice-Chairman of the Kokusai Nippon Budo Kai and is the senior student of Masayuki Shimabukuro Hanshi, the 21st Generation Inheritor-Designate of our line of Muso Jikiden Eishin-ryu Iaijutsu. Long Kyoshi is also Hombu-cho of the KNBK/JKI Eastern Hombu Dojo and is also the Coordinator of Iaido and Batto-do for the International Division of the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai, the oldest martial arts governing organization in Japan. He holds the grades of 8th Dan, Shorin-ryu Karate-do; 7th Dan, Muso Jikiden Eishin-ryu Iaijutsu; 6th Dan, Shito-ryu Karate-do; 4th Dan, Shindo Muso-ryu Jojutsu; and dan grades in Aikido and Kobudo.
