Dojo cho, Travis de Clifford. Bugo (martial name) 'Katsuyoshi'
The Kenshō Dōjō's objective is to offer students life changing personal growth & confidence in defending themselves, along with sharing the values & treasures of Japanese Kobudō.
The dojo name, "Kenshō", means, "seeing one's own true nature" & is usually translated as, "self-realisation" or, "first enlightenment". Jissen Kobudo is still relevant in modern society for many reasons, not least of which is the basic necessity for real-world self-defence.
