It’s starting to look more and more like a dojo! We moved into a new location at the beginning of the year (2024) and through the process of laying floor, organizing, and now starting to put up a bit of artwork and weapons racks it’s starting to resemble what I hope it will become.
道場 (Dojo) is written “a place of the way” in Japanese. We commonly associate it as a place to train martial arts such as kendo, judo, karate, and so on.
From the Buddhist perspective, they add the concept of enlightenment.
I like to think of it as a place of learning where through practice we improve ourselves and our techniques and become a better person and a better technician.
Stop by and check us out on Mondays and Thursdays from 6:00 p.m. for our Japanese fencing (kendo) and Japanese swordsmanship (Iaido) classes.
