Bokken Rotation

Posted on March 30, 2026

Our next weapons rotation is an opportunity to learn Bokken (sword) beginning with the seminar on Tues. April 7, followed by an 8-week class rotation. We'll be covering weapon safety and handling and learning skills that will allow us to build combos and a form. This is a popular weapon, and lots of fun to work with, so be sure to save your spot. This rotation is open to students ages 8 and up with a GOLD belt or higher.
