A bit more about myself.  I currently practice Nakamura Ryu Battodo (2-dan), Mugai Ryu Iaihyodo (1-dan), and Shindo Muso Ryu Jodo.  I am also ranked 1-dan in Atarashii Naginata and 1-kyu in ZNKR kendo.  I have practiced Aikido, both Seishinkai (2-kyu) and Kokikai (3-kyu), but have not practiced officially for some time.

I have an great interest in all areas of Japan, but especially in the pre-Edo period.  I have a fascination for the Nara and Heian areas, especially the esoteric practices such as Onmyodo, Buddhist Mikkyo, etc.  I am also interested in stories and legends, and sometimes perform 'sit-down philosophy' (as opposed to stand up comedy) to help pass on some of the stories from Japan and China.
