Looking to learn a unique martial art? Kenjutsu is the traditional Japanese art of swordsmanship practiced by samurai. It's not just about wielding a sword; it’s about discipline, precision, and self-improvement. Get ready to enhance your physical fitness and mental focus through this ancient practice.

What We Offer

You will be learning the Art of Kenjutsu from Master Trainer Jade of the Roninjitsu Shinobi-Ryu.

For all 3 Levels, here are some things needed:

• A wooden or synthetic bokken.
• An iaito (non-sharpened katana) before starting the class.
• A place to practice drawing and movements.
• A place to practice live cutting (outside if possible).
• A stand to place or attach objects for cutting by the second class. This will be discussed during the first session.
• A few decks of cards by the second class. Training will also include cutting various objects, such as water bottles and fruits (details to be announced).
• In Level 3, you may consider purchasing a sharpened katana for personal training, though it is not required. Training will be conducted with the iaito for safety reasons.

Training Overview for the 3 Levels:

Level 1: Begin with an overview of the basics, including the sword, basic draws, cutting techniques, and katas. This level prepares for Level 2 training.
