Overview
You will not only learn how to skillfully handle a sword, but also gain an understanding of the philosophy and fundamental principles behind it.
While the training is authentic and rooted in traditional practice, one of its great appeals is that it is accessible to people of all ages and genders, allowing each participant to train at their own comfortable pace.
You are welcome to join the training alone or with friends or family. Whether you’re aiming to embark on a samurai’s path or simply looking for a unique cultural experience, the practice can be enjoyed in a way that’s meaningful to you.
For those who wish to continue after the initial experience, ongoing training is available online. You can even progress through the official ranks and levels of the Shinkage-ryu Association as a formal student.

You will experience the swordsmanship of Shinkage-ryu.
Shinkage-ryu is a traditional Japanese sword style that originated in the Muromachi period and was studied by many renowned swordsmen. It is especially famous as the sword style practiced by generations of Tokugawa shoguns.
Samurai who studied Shinkage-ryu pursued not only skill in swordsmanship but also personal growth and the ideal of Katsujinken—“the life-giving sword.” This philosophy emphasizes avoiding unnecessary harm and resolving conflicts peacefully, which is reflected in the techniques themselves.
The practice is divided into two main parts.
In the first half, you will learn Iaido, which involves solo kata using a sword. Through these kata, you will develop body control and learn how to properly handle the sword.
After learning the body mechanics through kata, the second half of training introduces Kenjutsu, paired practice with a partner. We use a safe tool called a fukuro-shinai (a bamboo sword covered with leather), allowing people of all ages and genders to train comfortably and safely at their own pace.
