About Ken Shin Kai
Ken Shin Kai is a traditional Japanese swordsmanship dojo based at the State High School hall in Mount Gravatt, in Brisbane's south. The school teaches kendo and iaido, two classical martial arts that combine physical discipline, focus and a strong connection to samurai tradition.
Kendo is described as the modern equivalent of ancient samurai training, practised with bamboo swords and protective armour for full-contact sparring, building fitness, reflexes and resilience. Iaido, performed with a sword against imaginary opponents, is often called moving Zen and emphasises precision, control and calm concentration.
The dojo structures learning so newcomers start with a ten-week beginner course covering the foundations before progressing into intermediate group training. Dedicated children's sessions cater to younger students aged nine to sixteen, alongside regular weekly adult classes. For Mount Gravatt locals drawn to martial arts that blend tradition, mental discipline and full-body conditioning, Ken Shin Kai offers an authentic and welcoming place to begin or deepen a swordsmanship practice.
