Kevin Adams, Kevin Lee, Garfield Li, Michael Suen, Patrick Suen and Hanna Ikeda-Suen live in Toronto, Canada, and on November 2007, went to Japan for Iaido for the first time as a group.

In this whirlwind 10-day journey across central Honshu island, we visited castles, shrines & temples in Osaka, Kyoto, Inari, and Koyasan; we spend a night at the Jigokudani Monkey Park near Nagano; we practice Iaido in Ohara with Trevor Jones Sensei, and in Tokyo with Kikkawa Sensei, Yoshimura Sensei, Kuwata Sensei, Hatakenaka Sensei, and Tsubaki Sensei.

Through all the walking, all the trains, and all the challenges of traveling in a foreign country, we've stuck together as friends for all these years, and the experiences we had on this trip 13 years ago has given us memories of a lifetime.

This podcast was created specifically to share meaningful experiences of budo practitioners around the world, and this was an amazingly fun alternative to the traditional 1-on-1 interviews. 

In fact, if this format seems popular enough, I would love to host a similar session with others in the budo community.

One thing to note. Since our discussion is conducted while looking at some video and photos we took on this trip, there is much more context for those watching on Youtube, than on a podcast app with audio only. Although, I think that’s sufficient as well.
