Anthony is one of the top-ranking Takeuchi-ryu practitioners outside of Japan.

The Shoufukan is at the University of British Colombia, Vancouver, Canada, run by Alex Kask.

The SMAA has extensive connections with top Japanese budo instructors. Wayne Muromoto is on the US Board of Advisors and frequently contributes articles to its newsletter. Be forewarned that there is another group with the same initial of SMAA that is NOT the Shudokan. Don't mix the two up.

Meik and Diane also teach Toda-ha Buko-ryu naginata, Shinto Muso-ryu jo and Yagyu Shinkage-ryu. Just be careful of Meik's bilingual puns!   Tozando: http://www.tozando.com/international I always stop in their outlet near the Kyoto Budo Center (former Butokuden). They also are very reliable in doing international sales through their web site. Good people.
