Monthly fees:

By joining the Niten Institute, you are opening doors to the ancient culture, history, techniques, and philosophies of the Samurais. Your monthly fee not only ensures your participation in face-to-face classes but also grants you exclusive online meetings with Sensei Jorge Kishikawa, complemented by interactive online classes throughout the week. Remember: each dojo (training location) has its own fee structure that might occasionally be adjusted. Visit the nearest dojo to learn about the updated monthly fees.

Children:

Children from 12 years old can participate in all training sessions.

Training:

Sessions are from 1 to 2 hours in length. Training sessions are made up of various parts, warm-up, basics of strokes and techniques, sequence training and combat. Combat training is usually divided up into groups of beginners, intermediates, and graduates, while at other times the more experienced may work with and guide the most novice. How frequently one should train depends on the potential of each student. With training just once a week, it will be easy to to see technical progress, physical and health-related benefits, and the assimilation of the principles and values of the Bushido philosophy. A lower frequency of training is still valid, and can provide results for students with less availability.

Philosophy:

During any visit to the Dojo, try to stay until the end of the session and participate in the Golden Moments, when the training is complemented with elements of Japanese culture and Bushido samurai philosophy.

KIR Method:

KIR is a training method aimed at the physical, mental and emotional development of the student, giving little emphasis to competitiveness and discouraging the use of force. With this positive energy, the student feels confident to fully develop their potential.

Welcome to the
Virginia Dojo
of the Niten Institute


Kenjutsu Combat, envisioned by Sensei Jorge Kishikawa, is a modern application of the traditional martial art of Kenjutsu.

Rooted in the age-old wisdom of the Samurai, this discipline offers practitioners an opportunity to immerse themselves in time-honored techniques, providing an authentic experience of historical Samurai sword combat training. All this is achieved within the safety of the modern era, using protective gear (Bogu) and bamboo swords (Shinai).

At the Niten Institute, our classes are designed to strengthen both body and mind, cultivating the spirit through the practice of techniques and philosophies inherited from our founder, Miyamoto Musashi, the legendary Samurai. Our unique style of Kenjutsu Combat, which breathes life into the age-old Bushido code, was introduced to the US during Sensei Kishikawa`s 2017 visit.

We are delighted to announce that we have commenced regular classes in Charlottesville. Our new dojo is located within the International Black Belt Center of Virginia, conveniently situated at 624 Berkmar Circle.

We hold regular classes weekly. However, please keep an eye on our schedule for special guest appearances and upcoming events.
Join us and discover the way of the Samurai, the way of the sword!
