unfortunately, there are TONS of McDojos everywhere... people can take a few classes, then change things up a little, and make up a new "art", calling themselves "Master". It's unfortunate, but happens too often. Hope you find a good dojo. BTW, have you tried searching on E-Budo? They have a pretty good dojo list by geographical area...

looks like they changed things around a little since I last visited the site... I guess you now have to go to your respective MA and make a "searching for" post.

I've mentioned in some other threads about the lack of traditional JSA instruction available in the heartland of America. What city, state are you in?

Do a google search on iaido, battodo, and kenjutsu in Nebraska.
I did a quick search and looks like there are some iaido and battodo dojos in Lincoln and Omaha areas. Still pretty far from you though... Once you find dojo(s) you're interested in, checkout their lineage/creds for the style(s) they teach. You can probably get info by searching on e-budo forums or asking there.

One thing you could try, if you cannot find anything close by, is to find a teacher further away and make the trip to see them once a month. Or once every two or three months. Then spend a day or two of solid training before heading home. Spend the time between visits training as your teacher tells you to. Not an easy way of doing things but if there are no other options it could work. As an example there was a lady here in the blue mountains who wanted to learn Chinese swordsmanship. No teachers nearby. Did some research online, and ended up becoming a student of Scott Rodell. Travelled to the US when able, to train with her teacher.
