Our Story

For 50 years, Torrance Kendo Dojo has cultivated a community built on the principle of "Kenyu" (剣友) or “Friendship through Kendo.” We believe Kendo is a pursuit in which one will naturally develop deep camaraderie, trust, and loyalty through rigorous training and diligent study. 

To celebrate our 50th anniversary, we're hosting a Kachinuki "Winner Remains" Team Tournament, bringing together those across the world who share our passion for Kendo.

Share the spirit of “Kenyu” with us by joining our 50th anniversary tournament!
