Anne Beardsley Sensei has had a sword in her hand almost every day of the last fifteen years. She holds a 3rd dan rank (3rd degree black belt) in Toyama Ryu, and has been given permission to teach by the current president of the style.
She is dedicated to helping others develop the skills that have been such a gift in her own life.
While the sword is her first love in martial arts, she has also studied Aikido and some Karate, and currently spends a surprising amount of time training in Kyudo (zen archery) and in Systema (a traditional Russian martial art).
