Information About Training

WHO - Due to the nature of the training, it can be extremely dangerous. As such, only mature, focused, and dedicated individuals will be allowed to join.

WHAT - Hōten Ryū is practiced both solo and in pairs using a variety of weapons. This training includes swords (katana); weighted-chains (kusari fundo); truncheon (tetsujo); hidden weapons (hibuki); and much more.

WHERE - Near downtown Tempe. Hōten Ryū is a battlefield art, so training will often be conducted outdoors. The exact location will change according to the needs of the class.

WHEN - Sunday mornings, 8:30am-10:30am. (Days of the week may change according to the needs of the class.)

流 RYU - Means "Flow", "Stream", or "Current"

Enten Dojo 炎天道場

炎天 ENTEN - Means "Blazing Heat", "Boiling Sun", or "Scorching Heavens"

道場 DOUJOU - "Place of the Way"
