About

---

Ten No Kurai is a website dedicated to the practice, study, and promotion of the Jōdan stance in Kendo.

Created by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, this project was born from a simple observation: despite its iconic nature, Jōdanremains underpracticed, often misunderstood, and still too isolated within the modern Kendo landscape.

Our mission is twofold:

• To centralize valuable resources to help practitioners improve their Jōdan: techniques, tactics, training advice, gear recommendations, analysis, and personal insights.
• To build a community of practitioners, teachers, and curious minds around Jōdan, encouraging exchanges, meetups, and the organization of dedicated events (seminars, joint training sessions, competitions?…).

We believe Jōdan deserves more than being a niche practice.
It deserves a space. A voice. A community.

Welcome, and enjoy the Keiko!
