Note: Kendo classes incorporate elements of iaido and kobudo to provide students with a holistic understanding of Japanese swordsmanship, reflecting the interconnected principles of traditional martial arts. Similarly, iaido classes draw from kendo and kobudo to offer practitioners a well-rounded education and deeper insight into the art.

Private Classes

Private classes are available to Institute of Budo Studies members of all levels. These classes offer the opportunity for one-on-one instruction in Japanese swordsmanship and are specifically tailored to the student’s experience, physical conditioning, and desired goals.
