Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū Australia

To start, all you need is comfortable clothing which should be chosen according to the weather. The organiser has some spare inventory for beginners. If you have your equipment, you may bring it. Basically, we start from learning sword techniques with bokuto (a wooden sword), then move to iaito (a metal imitation sword) and finally to shinken (a real sword). Also, we learn how to use bo (a wooden staff) and naginata (a glaive). Training with wood weapons can be attended outdoors; iaito training is indoor only.

First training is free.
