Koryū Kenjutsu

I study classical Japanese swordsmanship [koryū kenjutsu] dating from the late 15th century. The focus of this training is on the use of the tachi (sword) but also includes methods of rokushakubō (six foot staff), kodachi (small sword), naginata (glaive), and yari (spear).

My primary practice is in the arts of Katori Shintō-ryu as taught by Sugawara Tetsutaka and his students Eric Zmarzly and France Hoang.

to be able to give birth to a dancing star."
