“Kendo isn’t just about strikes — it’s about who you become.”
I started Kendo when I was a kid and it’s been a part of my life ever since. After years of training, competing, and even working abroad, I realized I wanted to share the real Kendo with the world — not just techniques, but the spirit behind them. I’d love to guide you through this powerful experience!

“Through Kendo, we grow not just in skill, but in spirit.”
I started Kendo in third grade, inspired by my love for samurai and Japanese history. As I trained, I realized that the heart of Kendo isn’t just in technique — it’s in how we carry ourselves. Now, I teach with a calm and thoughtful approach, helping people discover the deeper side of Kendo.
