The dojo was founded by Lee O'Connell in November 2006 and is continuing to grow at an immense rate. We have a great family and team environment with some very hard practice! Since the dojo started, we have produced National Champions, dan grades and kyu grades of a great standard. We often have many high ranking Kendo sensei visit us from all over the UK and attend various seminars and competitions which is a vital part of continued study.

We are also extremely proud to have Andrew Fisher Sensei as a mentor for the Kobudokan. Fisher Sensei is currenlty Yondan and a member of the GB Kendo Team. He is also the British and French open champion. Fisher Sensei lives in Japan and is in constant contact with the dojo and updates us with information on practices and methods of Kendo in Japan.
