November 16 - Iaido Demonstration at Moorhead State University Japan Club

The Japan club at MSUM here in Moorhead held their annual cultural event on November 16th. Along with the different cultural music and food on display, were some booths displaying different aspects of Japanese culture. The Musoshindenryu dojo was invited to have a display booth to answer any questions students might have about iaido. Bradley Sensei was invited to do a demonstration of iaido, which lasted about 20 minutes. Students Paul D. and Paul M. also manned the booth and helped answer questions, and Paul M. also gave a short demonstration again later.

It was a good chance to introduce this Japanese sword art to the more than 150 people who attended. Thanks to both Pauls for helping out and showing your support! Photos from the demonstration can be seen in the photo gallery.
