The essence of Japanese swordsmanship lies in its perfection. It does not mean to strike down an enemy, but rather to strike down the enemy within oneself. In doing so, we rid ourselves of counter productive and self destructive attitudes. Learning the art of Japanese swordsmanship requires a philosophical training which permeates the entire life outside the dojo, building compassion and self-discipline.

Toyoo Inoue Shihan
Inoue Shihan will be visiting Fresno August 26, 27, and 28. He is a very close friend and teacher of mine and I am very excited to have this opportunity to train with him again in person. I hope that everyone from the dojo can make it!
