SEI DO KAN

... to walk or teach the true way.

The name SEI DO KAN, to walk or teach  the true way,
 was given to the Sydney School of Japanese Swordsmanship by the late  Nakamura Taizaburo  Shodai Soke & Hanshi 10th dan Batto-do in 2001.

One year later Hans Fricke received Kyoshi 8th dan in Nakamura Ryu Battodo and with it permission to teach and represent Nakamura Ryu Battodo in Australia. He is believed to be the only non-Japanese to have received such high honors outside Japan.

The Sei Do Kan Dojo, a founding member of the Australian Battodo Association Inc., teaches the art of Battodo, namely Nakamura Ryu  Battodo, Toyama Ryu Battodo, Tameshigiri and So-jutsu.

 All aspects of sword work are taught; from basic stances and sword-safety to advanced single and partner sword forms as well as tameshigiri the art of target-cutting and so-jutsu the art of the spear. The underlying principle of sword training is based on focus, mental alertness and development of an indomitable spirit.
