Zen Shin Budo Kai

Cornwall Class Information

 
KENJUTSU (Katana)
With the recent upsurge and renewed interest by filmmakers in depicting the Martial Art skills of the Orient, and with the recent release of such films as “Kill Bill”, “The Last Samurai”,  “Zatoichi” and "Matrix" a whole new genre of Oriental martial art sword art films are now in focus. Numerous Oscars and other mega film awards have highlighted the public interest in ancient, though obscure, martial art skills, passed down through the centuries to the present day by ancient Samurai warriors. In line with this renewed interest in the art of Kenjutsu, the Zen Shin Do Kenjutsu Kai, Japanese Sword School, is offering tuition in these ancient ways to students from the age of 12 upwards with no upper age limit.

Student’s safety is of course high on the agenda in the class, stringent safety rules ensure that all students know and understand the implications of their potentially dangerous art form. All students start off using the bokken(wooden sword) and when reaching a certain level of ability are allowed to use a replica blunt sword, again with absolute attention to their safety, as students progress we will help you to purchase the right sword for both kata practice and tamashigeri.(straw matt cutting)
