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.
