There will be no training on August 21st and Sep 4
The Musoken Dojo, located in Las Vegas, Nevada, studies a style of
swordmanship that has its origens over 450 years ago when Hayashizaki Jensuke
Shigenobu established his style to avenge his father's death.
The Shogun, Toyotomi Hideyoshi bestowed the title of Muso Ken on Hasegawa
Eishin after a demonstration of his school's swordsmanship. Eishin was the
seventh grand master after the founding by Hayashizaki Jinsuke Shigenobu. The
school has since become know by Eishin's name, and has passed down to the modern age as Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu Iaijutsu.
We also include: the study of Batto Ho, a recent addition to the Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu syllabus And, we study the kumitachi of Ono Ha Itto Ryu Kenjutsu.
