Welcome to the New York Shinbu-kan Kendo dojo website! We practice a form of Japanese martial art called Kendo in the Westchester County in New York. What is Kendo? The Wikipedia translates its concept as “Kendo is a way of discipline the human character through the application of the principles of the Katana (Japanese sword)”. Please look at our website to learn the basic information about our activities. If you are interested in joining us, please contact us any time.
