If your aim is solely cosplay, this may not be the right fit. This is a place where samurai hone both mind and body — a stronghold of Bushido. Here, you will embark on your genuine journey as a samurai.
Kendo translates to “the way of the sword” in Japanese. It originated as the samurai’s method for training in swordsmanship, involving armor and bamboo swords. In the samurai’s world, where a mere blink could lead to death, even the slightest mental distraction was perilous — hence, they also trained their minds.
You will start with an overview of kendo’s history, philosophy, and regulations. Learn the correct etiquette, then engage in training the three essential elements of kendo: spirit, sword, and body in harmony. Practice striking techniques, participate in actual sparring matches, and observe the instructor’s expert skills in an authentic kendo bout.
This is for those who genuinely aspire to take their initial step toward becoming a samurai. Each step into this dojo is a step into the path of the warrior — awaken your Strength in Bushido.
