Japanese Sword Fighting Chanbara/ Goshindo is a sport martial art developed in Japan as a means of effectively practicing sword and weapons fighting. Over thirty years ago Japanese martial artists and sword masters created a better training style that would help reduce injury, yet allow combatants to practice with full force. We use various weapons fron the samurai era including the famous Samurai Sword. Learn the same mental & physical lessons once taught to the Samurai. All weapons are padded!

We offer corporate seminars, private, and group Lessons taught by United States Chanbara Association New York State Representative and Certified Chanbara Instructors Sensei Dave Dougherty and Sensei John Brancato.
