Welcome to Pittsburgh Kenyukai

Kendo is a traditional Japanese martial art, known as "The Way of the Sword," where practitioners engage in combat using bamboo swords and protective armor. While it's rooted in swordsmanship, Kendo is more than just physical combat; it's a path of self-improvement that emphasizes respect, courtesy, and character development. Through demanding physical training and mental discipline, Kendo cultivates precision in strikes, swift movements, and a calm spirit. Beyond the dojo, it becomes a way of life, guiding individuals to discover inner strength and apply its principles to daily challenges, making it a captivating blend of martial artistry, cultural heritage, and personal growth.
