Ready to learn Iaido? 

The Kenshin Dojo is committed to preserving and spreading the art of Araki Ryu Iaido. In honor of that mission, we make classes affordable and accessible for everyone. Unlike many martial art centers, we don’t require you to pay sign up fees or sign a contract. All students must be at least 15 years old.

At the Kenshin Dojo you’ll grow as a martial artist and enjoy:

  • No start up fee and no contract
  • Friendly environment
  • Japan-trained instructors
  • Swords and limited uniforms for use during class at no cost
  • Yearly visit from Head master from Japan for teaching and testing

If you decide to join the Kenshin Dojo and learn how to wield a sword the Japanese way, you will only be required to pay monthly dues. For students we charge only $50 a month, Veterans and First Responders $55, and for adults it’s just $60 a month.

Have questions? Sensei Brad Pierce will be happy to answer your questions about our dojo, classes and swordsmanship – just call (480) 414-4696.
