Shinkendo is a Martial Art that teaches the way of armed samurai combat.
Shin can be translated as serious, ken as sword, and do as way, validating
Shinkendo's traditional English translation as "Way of the Serious Sword."
The primary focus is on use of the katana; Toshishiro Obata Kaiso is both
founder and head instructor of the Kokusai Shinkendo Renmei (International
Shinkendo Federation)
