A Legacy of the Samurai


Training with weapons like the sword in traditional Kenjutsu [Japanese swordsmanship] provides a unique window into the true science behind martial arts. You'll quickly learn what techniques are truly effective and what are not. This realistic approach helps you develop the skills to handle conflict situations in a practical way.

Kenjutsu is a no-nonsense art. It's direct, realistic, and avoids unnecessary aggression. However, the knowledge that these techniques were developed through real combat, violence, and war demands a respectful and serious approach from practitioners. There's no honor in violence, and therefore, no room for foolishness in Kenjutsu. The ultimate goal is to hone your skills but never have to use them in a real fight.

Kenjutsu Benefits Modern Budo Practitioners 
Delving into the Roots

Kenjutsu offers a gateway to a deeper understanding of Japanese culture. As the foundation upon which most modern Japanese martial arts were built, it offers a historical and technical framework that can significantly enhance your training experience. Therefore, we strongly recommend that anyone practicing a modern Budo discipline consider studying Kenjutsu. It provides a logical connection, reflecting the historical context of your martial art. Additionally, Kenjutsu fosters a deeper grasp of the underlying principles and techniques that form the core of your Budo practice.
