Why You Should Grab This Offer

Nestled in the heart of Brooklyn, Shinshokan is a traditional Dojo dedicated to the study of Japanese martial arts. In a city that moves at a relentless pace, Shinshokan offers a space for focus, tradition, and mindful practice. They are passionate about sharing the deep-rooted teachings of Budo while remaining open, friendly, and inclusive to all who are eager to discover this rich world.

Kendo, the modern Japanese art of swordsmanship, is a vigorous sport as well as a Budo—a way of self-discipline and mental clarity, deeply rooted in the traditions of the Samurai. Practiced with Shinai (bamboo swords) and Bogu (full protective armor), Kendo offers a thrilling and intense full-contact experience that sharpens the body, the mind and the spirit.

Guided by Salet Sensei (6th Dan in Kendo), the Dojo maintains close ties with Okada Sensei and Shodokan Dojo in Tokyo, from which the traditional Budo teachings originate. At Shinshokan, they do not chase trophies. They train to forge the body and spirit. They sweat, laugh, and endure together—because budo is not just about fighting, it is about personal growth.
