International Cultural Fair

November 26th, I met up with a new friend of mine, Jeff (from Idaho) and a student of mine, Shigeharu (American Name: Mr. Rapids, from Japan). We all attended an culture fair that was going on downtown. The main reason I attended was because my samurai sword sensei was going to be doing a cutting demonstration.

I was able to record the action and now, for the first time on Yokie from Muskogee, you can see video! Many of you already got an email from me with a link to this video.

They also performed a jodo (short staff) demo and a local jr. high did a kendo demo.

Later, we ran into another student of mine. She is a sado (tea ceremony teacher). Shigeharu treated Jeff and I to cup of tea.
