Shisenkan Aotake Dojo

Very exciting upcoming seminar with our Kancho!

In the last online seminar for 2024, Kanchō will teach the Happō-gata in full, with a special focus on Kuden. This sword tradition was developed by Matsudaira Sadatsuna, who lived through the early years of the Tokugawa period and the Ōsaka campaign, developed this tradition to preserve true battlefield fighting style.

Thanks to Mike Manerchia for coming out to the dojo and teaching us mobility movements!

I, Steph Sensei, have volunteered at Zoe Ministries of Delaware for the last 2.5 years. They have been working very hard to open their transitional home, Hannah's House, for several years and are very close! They are asking people to fill the shelves of Hannah's House with games, books, and other fun items for girls who need a safe space to learn and grow. Please consider purchasing an item or two off of their Amazon Wishlist to help the girls coming to them this fall.
