I know I posted many topics on ninjutsu and kenjutsu. But can someone sumerize everything up for me? And if I were to understand its history what books should I barrow/buy. I already have posting on ninjutsu schools but I still cant find a dojo in my area for kenjutsu. Can someone help me on that? Thank you for all your guys help, this forum has done so much things for me.

It is undertaken usually with a bokken(wooden sword) and will have unique variations depending on the school(ryu) that teaches it. One book alone would not do much but confuse you, it is always best to find a good(ryu) compatible to your learning and go along and watch and then ask questions. If you want a definition, just wanki-it ! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenjutsu

I've never attended any other school than my current school, but it seems logical that any iaido dojo you might attend would incorporate kenjutsu training into their curriculum.
The way we train, if we didn't have kenjutsu training, the things we're learning would have no practical application, they'd just look like fanciful moves/kata. Like when we do kumitachi with bokken, if we didn't do blocking and counter attacking drills we'd never know how affective our form was, if that makes sense.
what I mean to say is, if there is any iaido dojo near you they should have some kenjutsu in their teaching.
