Superior Dojo was excited to host Senpai Wenzel Bohm, head administrator of the Niten Institute and recipient of the rank of Menkyo in Niten Ichi Ryu.
During the training, Senpai Wenzel challenged our dojo with activities that changed how we think about the sword, and demonstrated a level of technique we can only achieve with true dedication.
Domo Arigatou Gozaimashita to Senpai Wenzel for an amazing visit!
Senpai Thomas had spoken a lot about Senpai Wenzel weeks before his visit. After listening to what Senpai Thomas had said, I built an image of how Senpai Wenzel would be. However, I was quite surprised when I first saw Senpai Wenzel. Senpai Wenzel did not fit my mental image yet further observation revealed that he was indeed a true swordsman.

Golden Moments - Sensei Jorge Kishikawa
The Bushido philosophy applied in our daily life.
"Our first days in Miami in preparation for the Pan American Encounter was beyond my expectations.
After the preparations came the training. Heavy training followed by shiais in which even the newcomers and beginners had a chance to fight and feel the adrenaline pumping was an unforgettable experience to watch Sensei practicing in Miami.
I think that we are going in the right direction and that Niten has a bright future in the US.
Our bodies may be tired but our souls are light and happy...." Barreto - São Paulo
