Testimonials

Here is a collection of what our workshop participants have said about our classes and workshops:

“I enjoyed the workshop very much and would appreciate being kept up to date on future demos, workshops or classes. I found the workshop very clear and organized. The katas felt natural and the progression was easy to follow… Overall I had a great experience and look forward to learning more.”

 “I really enjoyed the Kenjutsu workshop very much – it was a great privilege, and provided me with some insight into both Kenjutsu and perhaps some of the roots of Aikido’s sword forms, and body movement. I found the differences in form as interesting as the similarities. I particularly enjoyed the focus on precision and posture – I think I would benefit greatly as a martial artist in this regard from studying Kenjutsu – and I hope to have the opportunity to do so in the future. I thought your teaching was excellent, and the material equally so, and all of the practice, from praying to Katori, to the ki-ai to the rudiments of kata, very engaging, practical and real. Thank you for running the workshop and being so generous with your knowledge.”

“Excellent workshop! Extremely informative. Getting to actually try the movements and forms was the ultimate. Thank you very much Sensei Douglas Tong.”

“This is the first sword martial art I tried and I was not disappointed. It is a privilege to learn from someone who was one of the last students of Master Yoshio Sugino. Douglas Tong Sensei is excellent in dissecting techniques, making it easier to understand the basics of Katori Shinto Ryu Kenjutsu. Thank you and more power Sensei!”
