Michael Lindsay (4th dan) and Shaw Furukawa (4th dan)​ co-lead the Tulsa Kendo Club in Oklahoma, USA. They are directly sponsored from the Shi Ku Kai Dojo (Kanagawa, Japan) under Abe Koki Sensei (6th dan) and Iwanami Yoshio Sensei (Kyoshi 7th dan). 

In this wide-ranging conversation, we discuss their individual journeys in discovering kendo and the impact it has had on their lives. We talk about the importance of the community and giving back as a leadership responsibility, and about their first big tournament and major inflection points in their budo journey.
