About us, "RCIKK"

What's RCIKK?! That's us! River City Iaido & Kendo Kyokai, a study group based in San Antonio, Texas (a/k/a "the River City") dedicated to promoting Japanese sword work and to helping one another improve in the spirit of budo. Here, you can read about our adventures and browse our photographs (click on the thumbnails to download larger images). There's a gallery for each year since our founding in 1999 as a member club of the All U.S. Kendo Federation.
