Our weapons classes are open to everyone, however it is recommended to have a base in some type of martial arts before commencing. We also will only teach people of good character and that have genuine purpose for learning weapons.

We have a range of weapons available at the dojo for beginners to use when they start. It is recommended though to get your own weapons as soon as you can so you can continue to practice at home. Weapons can be purchased at the dojo, we have a range in stock and available to order. We also supply custom made weapons from Akamu Budo Weapons.

No, the sword is a separate system to traditional weapons so is not specifically taught at the dojo.

The bottom age we will teach is 8 years old however for all younger age people the ability to focus, have awareness of space and distance and other general safety aspects are considered before being allowed to be part of the class. In most cases children are normally 10-11 years before they are ready to learn weapons.
