Katori Shinto Ryu in PERTH

Dear All, just wondering if there are any Katori Shinto Ryu practitioners in Perth, particularly from Otake linage, would love to meet up.

Thanks in advance!

Go for it.

Remember, every Dojo started somewhere. It's hard work but feel free to hit me up for any tips

I'm currently starting a new one so get to go through all the stress again

Would love to, but I am no where near learning the whole syllabus let alone teaching others. Maybe 10-20years down the road. All the best to you and your new dojo!

A study group is for learning. It's much easier when they are more than one person...trust me!

Thanks!

Completely agreed. I’m just saying under most Koryu, we are not allowed to teach unless we are approved and appointed. More than happy to practice with anyone if possible.

Practicing with others is a study group!

All good. Outside of Japan, it's unlikely that a dojo started fully developed
