Welcome to the Musoshindenryu Iaido Dojo - Moorhead Minnesota.

いらっしゃいませ！夢想神伝流居合道 モアヘッドミネソタの道場によこそう！

Please take off your shoes and come into the dojo for a visit.

Serving the Fargo, North Dakota, Moorhead, Minnesota area, we are a traditional Japanese sword arts dojo teaching the approved Zen Nihon Kendo Renmei seitei (standard) iaido katas as well as the traditional koryu Musoshindenryu style of iaido.　

The about section of this site explains what iaido is, the katas we learn, and some of the terminology associated with Japanese martial arts and iaido specifically.

The dojo section of this site provides information on how to visit the dojo, class times and fees, and information about the Sensei.

The news section contains just that. News about upcoming and past events. Please check the news regularly for information about upcoming seminars, tournaments, and testings.

Why Learn Iaido?

Apart from the benefits of regular exercise and stretching, learning iaido gives us a small insight into the culture and tradition of Japan. Rich in history, etiquette, and discipline, Iaido not only teaches us some of the techniques found in Japanese swordsmanship, but also the more spiritual aspects of Japanese Bushido. Iaido takes a lot of patience and repetition to start to understand the meanings within the katas, and also control and awareness that comes from practicing with a Japanese katana.

My smith-made shinken katana. It was commissioned by Nosyudo in Seki, Japan. It's razor sharp!

Have a nice visit, and thanks for stopping by!
