"My passion is to be in service of observing my students grow, and understand Self,
through the Way of Worrior Spirit" - "Kokoro Takeshi 心武"
At the school we explore our Self through the Way of the Samurai, philosophy, strategy in battle and life, including the study and preservation of various weapons and collectables from the Samurai era in Japan.
Our instruction centers around mastery of the Japanese long sword (Katana), the short sword(Wakizashi), knife fighting (Tanto-jutsu), long staff weapons (jo-jutsu) and unarmed techniques known as muto, or “without sword” (including joint mobilization, throws, grappling, striking techniques, etc.).
The guidance of our training is through “The Way” (Bushido). The Way of the Warrior directs a student to how, he/she can respect and express the inherent true “Self” through the rigors of training and study of the Martial Arts.
As students of the I-shin Do ken - Kenjutsu School, we also explore our experience in the training and philosophy as a means to explore and understand who we are.
The term Mune Muso is the expression used when thought, word and action merge as one.
Essentially a state of being without the interference of Mind.
The Mune Muso Kenjutsu Dojo is based in Randburg.
Class is once a week at the Robin Hills Scout hall, Cnr Cherry Road and Oorbietjie Street, Robin Hills.
Classes are held every Wednesday evening from 19h00-21h00.
