Re: Lightweight iaito - where to find?
Hello everyone
With regret I have to let you know that I won't be meeting any of you at seminars, because I have had to give up my study of iaijutsu. My wrists are fine. Some who teach under the banner of MJER would have us believe they know more than their own teachers, and that skill and power come from aggressiveness and athleticism. Those who teach from this doctrine are not teaching iaijutsu.
Brian remains true to the spirit of MJER and I bitterly regret not continuing. In the end I found that along with the aggressiveness doctrine came personally aggressive behaviour and treachery and, since there is no other iaijutsu near me, I have returned to my study of taiji.
Many thanks to all those who offered support and advice.
Go in peace
Peter Martin-Browning
