• Thoughtful, Practical, and Culturally Rich Martial Arts Training

  I recently trained here in Iaido and Kenjutsu, and it has been a genuinely rewarding experience. One of the things I appreciate most is that the instructor teaches in both English and Japanese, which makes the classes accessible while still preserving the cultural depth of the art. Beyond simply showing movements, the teacher takes time to explain the background and reasoning behind why things are done a certain way within this tradition. That context adds a lot of meaning to the practice and makes each session feel like more than just physical training. Some techniques — especially drawing and sheathing the sword — are quite different from what I have seen in other styles. At first the differences surprised me, but the more they were explained and practiced, the more they made practical sense. The methods are not arbitrary; they are built on clear logic and intention. Overall, the style feels very practical and grounded, which I personally value a great deal. The atmosphere is respectful, focused, and welcoming, making it a place where both beginners and more experienced practitioners can learn with confidence. I’m very glad I decided to begin training here.

  Learn to handle a katana, basically. Everyone was really friendly and welcoming to me, and the teacher and material were beginner-friendly enough to not feel lost. I recommend this for an authentic learning experience.

  A great experience that left me more to practice and think upon. The class is a good reminder that traditional swordsmanship has many nuances missing from the various types of sports fencing (Kendo included).

• Shogo-senpai is incredibly welcoming, patient, and knowledgeable

  As a Kyoto-resident, I was looking for a kenjutsu/iaido school that was accommodating for beginners, convenient to my work hours, and had an instruction-style that my imperfect Japanese (🙇🏻) would able to keep up with. Thankfully, I learned from a local Reddit forum that Shogo-senpai had opened a new chapter for Asayama-Ichiden-ryu, and he was very responsive to my questions. After attending one class, it was incredibly clear just how patient and knowledgeable a teacher Shogo-senpai, and the regular students were equally welcoming. Whether you are looking for a new local passion or are just passing through, I could not recommend it more.

  There are a lot of experience classes in Kyoto but this is definitely special one. In my opinion (I'm Japanese and born and raised in Kyoto), Kobudo is quite rare experience even for Japanese. There is actually Judo, Kendo, Karate type of sports and these are actually good mindset but Asayama ichidenryu is for army. It's skills about murder and it has so much means including respect. I will learn it for my life. Let's see you in the class!

  When I saw that Shogo started his own dojo I knew I had to take a class while I was in Kyoto. He was very friendly and responsive, so I was able to show up ready to train! Everyone was very friendly and I never felt like an outsider. The class ran smoothly and Shogo provided clear instruction. He made sure to break up each technique in a way where we didn’t feel overwhelmed, and helped adjust our form with details as needed. As a former instructor myself, I appreciated his skill in transmitting knowledge. Asayama Ichiden Ryu has great logic in it, and so many details had a big impact. It was serious training, but also quite fun! I highly recommend it if you’re in Kyoto and want something real as opposed to something gear towards casual tourist experiences.

  i heard about this place from the youtube videos shogo makes. of course i had to visit when i stayed in koto. it's beginner friendly and everybody is welcome. you can join just one or two lessons as a guest, no problem. training is 3 hours and packed with a lot of information and different iaido movements. learned a lot in that short time! everybody was really friendly and nobody is going to rush you, you can learn without being overwhelmed. don't miss this place if you're in kyoto, it's such a great feeling to swing a katana.

• Must Visit and Train if Visiting Kyoto, Authentic Iaijutsu and Kenjutsu Koryu

  When I was going to visit Kyoto, my dojo partner in USA informed me that Shogo is running a dojo near where my hotel is. I've been a fan of Shogo since the inception of his YouTube channel, so I was excited to finally meet and train under him! After a few email exchanges, our schedule was set. On the day of our meeting, Shogo was incredibly nice and welcoming! The dojo space is a small dance studio rented out for the practice. Shogo's interpretation and transmission of Asayama Ichiden-ryu is very articulate and effective. Not only does he explain how to execute techniques and structure our form and footwork, which he does very well, he also explains why we do those techniques in those certain ways. He made me realize how practical Asayama Ichiden-ryu is, so I can see why Shogo followed their path. I am also ready to take that same path, as well as my dojo partner is. I'm glad to have made that visit, and look forward to training with Shogo soon!
