Samurai Sword Conditioning

Samurai Sword Conditioning and Japanese Physical Training

In this class, I utilize the teachings of Peter Sensei, who is the author of one of the top books available on actual Samurai Sword Techniques 

Japanese Samurai Sword -Secrets to Rapid Skill Advancement  "...There is nothing more important than the basics - Keep reinforcing them...Do this every day, and you'll leave everyone else behind. Let everyone else have their movie-inspired moves. You are perfecting the real thing".

 This conditioning class is based on the striking movements of Kenjutsu (sword art) - the classical art of swordsmanship.  While originally rooted in the age of feudalism, when swordsmanship was of practical value, today Kenjutsu is maintained for its historical value and as a means of preserving the cultural ethics of the Japanese warrior. 
This class can begin to prepare your body and mind for the traditional Kenjutsu classes and Kenshin ittai (sword and mind as one).  The concept of making the sword move in perfect harmony with the mind and body of the swordsman.  This relationship is a primary goal of kenjutsu training.

This class uses a Bokken and/or Subrito for training. The Bokken is a wooden sword, similar in size, shape and weight to the Japanese steel sword.  The bokken is used in practice sessions to avoid injury in actual kata training.

Some classes are private or semi-private with limited availability.  Yearly Membership is required - e-mail info@weaponsconditioning.com.  Monthly Training fees - $35.00-$100.00.

Before you take this class, we will sit down with you and discuss where you want to take your training and conditioning level.
