Salinas Kendo Dojo

The Salinas Kendo Dojo is a martial arts school that specializes in teaching Kendo, a Japanese sword fighting discipline, and Iaido, a Japanese art of drawing a sword from its scabbard. The Dojo's mission is to sharpen the mind, body, and spirit of its students through weekly practice sessions. With a strong presence in Northern California, the Dojo has produced many skilled kenshi who have won national championships and represented the USA at world championships. The Dojo's small and familial atmosphere provides a great instructor-to-student ratio, allowing students to progress quickly. The Dojo's values are reflected in the words of Miyamoto Musashi, a famous Japanese swordsman, who said that everything is difficult at first, but with perseverance and dedication, one can achieve greatness.
