INTRO CLASS – JAPANESE SWORD (KENJUTSU/IAIDO)

NYBA is a not-for-profit 501-c(3) traditional Japanese Sword School in NYC. The class is open to all, beginners welcome! Classes are taught by licensed (under Yahagi Sensei in Tokyo) instructors. We teach a specific style of kenjutsu called Ryushin Shouchi Ryu (柳心照智流). This is quick draw style of sword that was taught to bodyguards during the Edo period.

– NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY

– NO EQUIPMENT NEEDED*

Please wear gym clothes and have a willingness to learn.

Please stretch before class.

*If you don't own a practice sword, you can use any object to hold – a wooden spoon, stick, lightsaber, dowel, or just use your hands (we'll show you how)

This is both an IN-PERSON and ONLINE event.

For those students taking the IN-PERSON event, you will be required to sign our legal waiver, we will email this to you when you purchase a ticket. We start all of our students with an intro class before they become full time NYBA members.

If you are interested in training with us please visit us in NYC or you can train with us online on PATREON/NYBA. You can also find out more information online as well on our website.
