At Saboten Kenjutsu, we celebrate the rich tradition and dynamic practice of Japanese swordsmanship. Our dojo is a hub for learning and mastery, combining the discipline of traditional kenjutsu with the energy of Sports Chanbara for a comprehensive sword training experience.

Our signature system, Tasai Ryu, blends the adaptable realism of Chanbara with structured kata, drilling, and technique refinement. Designed for modern practitioners, Tasai Ryu respects the fluid and competitive nature of Chanbara while preserving the deeper principles of timing, control, and form that define traditional kenjutsu. Every movement is built with intent—equally effective in free sparring or precise formwork.

Whether you're engaging in the fast-paced combat of Chanbara or refining your precision with paper and mat cutting, our curriculum offers something for every level of practitioner. We provide training opportunities for all ages, from beginners discovering the art of the sword to advanced students honing their skills.

Nestled in a serene yet disciplined environment, Saboten Kenjutsu is designed to fit into your busy life. Our diverse schedule includes weekend classes for in-depth training and weekday daytime sessions to accommodate flexible schedules. Whether your goal is physical fitness, mental focus, or mastery of the blade, we invite you to sharpen both mind and body at Saboten Kenjutsu.
