Class Info 「クラス情報」

Classes emphasize conditioning, footwork, quick draws and proper cutting techniques.  Kata is used to teach effective responses to different situations including surprise attacks and one-on-one fighting.  Students will also practice cutting with a live sword, once they have achieved a certain level of mastery, respect and safety.  The goal is to master the sword, as well as the self.

Class Times

Tuesdays 6:30PM - 8:30PM
Saturdays 1:00PM - 3:00PM
All classes start with a traditional bow-in and group warm-up exercises, then move on to any specific lesson(s) for that day.    Classes end with a traditional bow-out and cleaning. 
Lessons may include: 'kata', quick draw 'batto' techniques, sparring exercises, cutting drills or individual practice time.  Once a month, a special class is dedicated to target test cutting where students can practice live cutting.
