Our home dojo in Handa, Aichi

 Aoyama Dojo in Handa, Aichi. Home Dojo to Kuroyama Dojo in Japan.

 We travel to Handa every year to train with our fellow kenshi under Tsutomu Ishikawa Sensei (Kyoshi 8th Dan), and then onto the International Batto-do Federation International Taikai in Tsurumi Sports Center, Yokohama. Here we compete against our fellow Kenshi from Japan and all over the world.

 We are lucky to have the opportunity to train here for a week and soak up the training and the local culture. Ishikawa Sensei also visits the Australian Hombu Dojo, in June for a seminar and associated grading.

The Australian Home Dojo is run by Mathew Rous, Rokudan Renshi where Tameshigiri, Kata and Kumitachi is practiced asper  the full IBF Approved curriculum for Battodo.

Students also have the opportunity to train in any overseas IBF Dojo in America, Canada, South Africa, Thailand and the UK.
