Dojo Philosophy
"The concept of Kendo is to discipline the human character through the application of the principles of the Katana (sword)."（International Kendo Federation）At New York Shinbu-kan, we are training Kendo to follow this concept. Often, we emphasize the techniques of Kendo and focus on the competition aspect. Through Kendo practice, we are continuing to improve our Kendo skills as well as our human character.
Shinbu-kan’s motto is to learn “correct, beautiful, and strong” Kendo.
