Kuroyama Dojo

Kuroyama Dojo in Ryde is a specialist Japanese swordsmanship school and the official Sydney representative of the International Battodo Renmei. The dojo focuses on Battodo, the complete Japanese sword system, alongside the traditional schools of Nakamura Ryu Batto-Do and Toyama Ryu, giving students access to an authentic and disciplined martial tradition that is rare to find.

Training here centres on the precise mechanics of the Japanese sword, from form and posture through to cutting technique, all practised within the etiquette and focus that define classical Japanese martial arts.
