Remember when you were a little kid, and you wanted to be a samurai? No? Maybe you wanted to be Batman (I did too). My obsession with martial arts and Asia has been in me since I was a kid. And, since I never outgrew that, this weekend I had the privilege to attend a gasshuku for Suio Ryu Iai Kenpō— a 400 year old tradition that focuses on Iaido, the art of drawing a sword.

It was a life changing experience! We enjoyed the teaching of the 15th generation soke (headmaster) of Suio, Katsuse-sensei, made a lot of new friends and worked hard to learn and develop new skills, based on centuries-old traditions.

Like most koryu (traditional martial arts), the true aim of Suio Ryu is to polish the spirit. To distill ourselves down to our purest essence and leave only the present moment. Especially powerful to focus on, as there is so much chaos in everyone’s day to day.

We will never forget the experience and the warmest welcome from this incredible group of people! We look forward to many more years of study!
