Ottawa Kenjutsu teaches classical Japanese swordsmanship with a focus on safety, precision and the preservation of traditional technique.
Classes are offered at Ottawa Aikikai and provide instruction on the use of the katana (Japanese sword) and other traditional Japanese weapons. Practice focuses on how to perform kenjutsu movement and sword techniques with accuracy, speed and power, and how to connect the sword with the body and mind. Kata (detailed pre-arranged patterns of movements practiced either solo or with partners) are used to train theories and principles as well as teaching proper distance and timing.
