If you seek mere sightseeing, this isn’t for you. This is where samurai train mind and body — a place of strength in Bushido. Here, you’ll take your first true step as a samurai.
Kendo means “the way of the sword” in Japanese. It began as the samurai’s method of training in sword combat, wearing armor and striking with bamboo swords. In the world of the samurai, where a blink could mean death, even the slightest disturbance of the mind was fatal — so they trained the mind as well.
You’ll begin with an introduction to kendo’s history, philosophy, and rules. Learn proper etiquette, then train in the three key elements of kendo: spirit, sword, and body in unison. Practice striking techniques, step into real sparring matches, and witness the instructor’s master-level skills in a true kendo bout.
This is for those who truly wish to take their first step toward becoming a samurai.
Every step into this dojo is a step into the way of the warrior — awaken your Strength in Bushido.
