Classical Japanese Martial Arts Training

The Nagakomyou Dojo preserves and teaches traditional Japanese martial arts in their classical form. Our curriculum consists of jujutsu (unarmed combat) and kenjutsu (swordsmanship) applications — through disciplines that were developed hundreds of years ago for real conflict and refined through generations of traditional instruction.

This is structured, disciplined training rooted in genuine historical Japanese budo.

Kato Sensei's Tennen Rishin Ryu Makimono

At this time we offer classes in two martial systems that compliment each other. They are our Jujutsu (Unarmed) and Kenjutsu (Swordsmanship) classes.

Our Jujutsu class is comprised of classical grappling, striking and throwing techniques that are presented in a ground up manner that allows each practitioner to begin with no experience and progress through each level with increasing levels of mental and physical ability. Classes are very straight forward. Technical proficiency and understanding are emphasized and ultimately tested at an appropriate level with each rank test.

Our Kenjutsu class is directly associated with Kato Kyoji Sensei of the Tennen Rishi Ryu Bujutsu Hozonkai out of Tokyo, Japan. We are a recognized Keikokai of Kato Sensei's organization, which means he acknowledges our association and the material we present in that class is directly tied to his curriculum. Kato Sensei's classes are renowned for being practical and aggressive.
