Introducing myself
My name is Jack and I have been playing shakuhachi for a little less than a year now, although my musical career started when I was but a child. Upon discovering Suizen and Kinko ryu style honkyoku, I have become enthralled in the practice as opposed to normal meditation. I am also a new practitioner of Shinkage ryu Iaido although I have previously gone through extensive self training in Muso Shinden Ryu Iaido. The other instruments I play are the electric guitar, Violin, Viola, koto, ghuzeng, and a number of side blown flutes. If any one here lives in virginia and would like to collaborate on a musical project, or just get together to play, let me know!

Re: Introducing myself
Welcome to the forum. I used to regularly practice Eishin ryu iaido and still on occasion borrow my father-in-law's bokken (he has a sixth dan in iaido) to practice early morning kata in the street in front of their home as there is no place to stand in their small garden to swing a sword. Happy blowing!
