Vivinavi : Los Angeles : (United States) Los Angeles

Come join us for morning kenjutsu practice with a view of the ocean ？

Our samurai school mainly uses the oldest Japanese kenjutsu called "Katori Shinto Ryu" for our practice.
The tradition of "Katori Shinto Ryu" has been handed down for over 640 years and is now designated as an intangible cultural asset of Japan.

In addition to kenjutsu, students look at their bodies and inner selves through aikido, karate, and other martial arts to improve themselves.

The individual's personality and daily habits are reflected in each movement of the martial arts.
For example, people who lack self-confidence tend to have a narrow stride and a hunched posture.

In our practice, we correct each movement in detail.
By improving your movements in martial arts, your daily movements will also improve.
One of the charms of Budo is that we can correct our daily habits in our practice and change our daily life into something better.

It can also bring about changes in our inner attitude.
When you go forward, you must go forward with 'courage' and at the same time be humble.
On the other hand, when retreating backward, you must physically step back, but you must also have the spirit to move forward.

Practice is not like general training, where you "add something" to your training.
Practice is to cut away the useless and "approach innocence".

Beauty is created by eliminating waste in the way we stand, walk, breathe, and other natural human actions.
Then you will look different from others and your presence will increase.

Living in Los Angeles, I feel that many people like Japan.
There is a lot of Japanese philosophy in martial arts.
The more you know about Japan, the more you will like yourself and
the richer your life in America will be.

Morning practice focuses on inner practice, so
women, children, and the elderly are completely welcome.

Please feel free to join us.
