The best of course would be to train in Japan. There are three dōjōs, one in Nara, one in Higashiōsaka and one in Nagoya, where training is held regularly. Addresses, training hours and contact data can be found at the Japanese site of the Hōzōinryū.

Keikoyari (training spears) are not obtained easily even in Japan. The author saw a kamayari for sale in a budō equipment shop in Tōkyō just once.

Recently he ships the spears to destinations outside Japan as well, but they are quite expensive.
