25.01.2022 Perth Japanese Sword School Instructor Peter Hunt. Pictured front row, far left at the Hobart Seminar. Peter is getting instruction from a large group of Japanese senior ranks, mainly 7th and 8th Dans and will bring back some of his learning to the dojo at Wanneroo Martial Arts.

25.01.2022 Good class today, great sparring session at the end!!

22.01.2022 Can anyone guess what was delivered this week. Oh and free lessons for a month for anyone who can name everyone in the photo. Current members exempt.

22.01.2022 Dont forget our Iaido class tomorrow 8:30. Existing Iaido practitioners of all ranks are welcome.

22.01.2022 You have to watch this all the way to the end. Fantastic

21.01.2022 Perth Japanese Sword School would like to congratulate the following students on passing their 6th Kyu to in Iaido at The Budokan Academy. Canning Vale. Paso Pasoski Jarrod Greene Stephen King.... Great job guys, the hard work has paid off. Thank you to all the Senseis for preparing them.

20.01.2022 COVID-19 It's a concerning time out there right now... and many martial art schools are on the front lines for survival. It is a sad reality that martial arts do not enjoy the popularity they have in previous decades, and more specialised arts such as Classical Japanese Sword arts are smaller than most. So what does this mean?... Well, it means that all of these schools will need your support and assistance in order to weather the current and coming stresses. Many schools have closed down classes for a short time... and all others are constantly monitoring the situation, ready to make a decision in an instant. For teachers, the challenge is quite difficult. They face the possibility of losing all students, and therefore the school itself, by the time this is over. Mt recommendation is to see what you can do to keep the school going when the classes are forced to temporarily close... see about offering online or email lessons in their place... send tips for home training... articles on the history of your art... and see about what you will need to do to keep the school in a position where it can re-open, whether that includes reduced fees, or a fund-raiser when the time comes. For students, this means keeping in contact with your school, and helping out wherever you can. It also, obviously, means that if you're feeling sick in any way, please refrain from attending, and ensure your instructor knows about why you're absent. The thing to remember, if you classes do close for a time, is that it will become vital to maintain your contact with the class, including continuing your training at home wherever possible... as it will become a new habit of not training if this extends for too long! Fortunately, some of the arts can easily be done solo (Iaido, Jodo), and others can be modified for solo practice (Kenjutsu, Jukendo, Naginata). Arts such as Kendo have a number of practices that can be maintained... obviously Shiai will need to wait until you can have training partners... but that is part of the challenge we must all rise to. Being a martial artist is about meeting these challenges, and rising above them. If we continue to support each other and our arts, I'm positive we will get through this!

18.01.2022 Well training at Willow Pond ends but training at Budokan continues. Willow Pond has been a great venue, I loved the Sunday morning training followed by breakfast in the restaurant but progress brings this to an end. Six Perth Japanese Sword School students trained and graded yesterday so it was good to end on a positive note. The new venue is a good facility so we are looking forward to the next chapter.

17.01.2022 A few photos from the Tameshigiri

17.01.2022 Chief Instructor Peter Hunt with our youngest student Blake Figliomeni. Looking sharp there Blake!!

17.01.2022 Looking forward to taking the class today and catching up with my students, as I havent seen them in 2 weeks.

16.01.2022 Congratulations to all the students at Websters Martial arts who passed their 6th Kyu Grading. Big thanks to Craig Webster Kyoshi for inviting us to teach at his school.

14.01.2022 Our least experienced student shows great potential.

13.01.2022 Stage one of the 4th Kyu grading starts tomorrow. Good luck to all of those attempting the grade. Arrive early and make sure all your equipment is ready. Spectators are very welcome.

12.01.2022 I dont think Jasper is cut out for our Sword class. I just told him to relax!!

12.01.2022 So my fellow Martial arts instructors. Have you ever had that kid come into the dojo and sometimes even just to look at them without them even starting to train you are thinking what can I do with this kid. You just know it is going to be hard for them to pick things up. They are smart but have little confidence, they are fit but have little co-ordination, they are listening to you but they seem to be elsewhere. Well stick with them my friends. Today I witnessed a young m...an, who I first taught martial arts too about 12 years ago, walk into my dojo to grade. He carried out his grading without a stutter, in full control and with confidence! Yes confidence. His Tameshigiri ( live blade cutting) was awesome, any practitioner would have been happy with it. To cut takes confidence. I strongly believe that the confidence he showed in cutting today, will reflect upon him with the other things he does in life. I certainly hope it does. I am a very proud instructor today!! I could hardly hold my emotions when addressing the group after the grading. Thanks Jarrod.

11.01.2022 A bit of 2 sword cutting practice

11.01.2022 Researcher Brian Moore trialed a martial arts training program across schools in NSW as an alternative to traditional anti-bullying methods, and found the menta...l health and well-being of participating students improved in just one term. "The program itself wasnt designed specifically to protect kids from bullying," he said. Read more here: https://www.sbs.com.au//it-helped-me-stand-taller-martial-
