Program Description
Jukendo and Tankendo are among the nine modern Budo arts practiced by students in Japan. These unique martial arts represent a cultural fusion of traditional Japanese spear techniques (Sojutsu), short-blade arts (Tantojutsu), and Western bayonet fencing.
Training is conducted using a Mokujyu (wooden rifle) and a Tanken (short bamboo sword), with a strong focus on discipline, precision, timing, and controlled sparring.
We welcome both beginners and youth participants. Additionally, Naginata and Kendo practitioners are invited to join our Isshujiai (cross-discipline) sessions, held on the last Sunday of every month.
