Tenshin Yodokan Iaido Iaijutsu Kenjutsu

Fantastic Dojo. Friendly atmosphere, very helpful and courteous instructor with clear and easy to follow instructions. Etiquette and discipline is how you would find at a Japanese Dojo.

Youll learn more than just how to use a sword and start to see there is a whole other aspect to the art. Its fascinating to learn of the Samurai min...

Highly recommended to anyone who doesn't just ...

Within & outside the dojo the ethics of budo is within everything we do, also learning about the sword, weapons, culture, the history & samurai of japan. Sensei Knight is a great teacher & has always shown such passion & respect for t...

As a martial arts instructor with 48 years of training and teaching in the Essex area, I had a full-time health and fitness gym in Basildon for 20 years I am very particular about who and where I go to learn. I did some research and was extremely fortunate to find Tenshin Yodokan and Stuart Knight. I have been training as one of his students since November 2021.
