The “way” of “harmony” with “nature”

Often described as “moving Zen” the ultimate aim is personal transformation. However, the focus of the Dojo (training hall) is practical. Repetition and hard work are required to master the fundamentals of training.

“This is not mere theory”, O Sensei said, “you must practice it”
