Dojo cho, Travis de Clifford. Bugo (martial name) 'Katsuyoshi'
Kenshō Dōjō's objective is to offer self-defence, potentially life-changing personal growth & self-confidence. You're here to not only learn how to defend yourself & others, but to grow & share the values & treasures of Japanese Kobudō.
The dojo name of, "Kenshō", means, "seeing one's true nature", or, "first enlightenment". An inevitable benefit of martial training is to realise our core character & then to refine & push ourselves forward through the realm of combat. You'll often be out of your comfort zone, but these repeated experiences of friction give you the grit & perseverance to handle most situations in life.
