About this activity
Modern Battojutsu(technique of drawing and sheathing) is practiced as a method of physical, moral, and spiritual development.

It is of course important to improve your short sword techniques, but it is more important to cultivate Fudoshin (the unwavering state of mind.
We practice the fundamental movements repeatedly, so that we can be equanimous anywhere, at anytime and under any circumstances. 

We start our training in a dark dojo with a short meditation to listen to the chimes.
The instructor dedicates a short demonstration to the ancestors.
You will change to the dojo uniform.

Then you will learn: 
The traditional shinobi breathing, and Kujikiri for the purpose of the integration of Mind and Body,
 
Our short sword training features the following key concepts: Soft Focusing, Vigilant Mind, "No-self sword", and Inner Eye
Each is explained in a practical manner.

Our workshop is for those who want to know more than just have fun. If you want to know our thoughts, history and tradition, you need a reliable interpreter with specialty knowledge. All of our interpreter/trainers are licensed. They have top-notch language skills and intrapersonal abilities to convey deep thoughts. If you want to ask questions, you need a professional.
