Historically, the samurai of Japan used Kenjutsu as a fighting method. Iaido was developed from Kenjutsu. They were trained to draw their swords and battle their opponents using the quickest and most efficient moves possible. Attention to detail and accuracy were strongly emphasized as the smallest of mistakes could be fatal. Today, Iaido is taught as a series of small forms or katas. Attention to detail and accuracy are still strongly emphasized. However, modern day students develop these qualities not to prepare for the battlefield, like the samurai, but for their own personal and spiritual development.

What is Chanbara? The simple definition is a padded weapon. Almost everyone has swung a stick or has pretended to be a knight, a Jedi or even Robin Hood. This sport lets anyone live the dream and learn to be a better swordsman with out the fear of injury. Classes are both educational and fun.

The Little Dragon program was designed specifically for children ages 4-7 years old. In the Little Dragons Program, your child will learn and grow in a process that accommodates their skills and abilities. All classes are fun yet productive to ensure that your children learn much more than just punching and kicking. Classes are fast paced to hold their attention and packed with running, jumping, rolling and flying so kids will never get bored. The secret to teaching your child in this age group is something we like to call "Edu-tainment". This simply means using the excitement and fun of the Lil' Dragon games and drills to teach key school readiness and life skills.
