We are pleased to announce that Shinkendo New York at Modern Samurai Dojo, the northeast's only Authorized Shinkendo Dojo, will be expanding to teach classes in Manhattan starting in June.

Shinkendo is a comprehensive system of Traditional Japanese Samurai Swordsmanship founded by Obata Toshishiro. Obata-Sensei has reunified and refined centuries old techniques of swordsmanship into an effective and complete system. Students begin practice with Bokuto (wooden sword) and eventually progress to practice with Shinken (live blade), including Tameshigiri (test cutting). There are no competitions in Shinkendo. Our overriding emphasis is on safety, and effective technique.

Classes will be taught by Michael Mason, a licensed Shinkendo instructor, under the supervision of Sensei Lou D'Agostino, Shibucho of Shinkendo New York.
