Batto-Do Classes

Japanese swordsmanship- Batto Do

It is a Japanese Swordsmanship which means "the way of drawing and cutting with a sword in a single motion."

Engaging in Batto offers a wide range of benefits for both the body and mind. Physically, it enhances strength, flexibility, and coordination. Mentally, it promotes focus, concentration, and stress reduction. Additionally, Batto cultivates discipline, self-confidence, and a strong sense of ethics, which can positively impact various aspects of life beyond the dojo.

It is not only about using the sword but also body and mind coordination as well as mastering the art of anticipating the next move of your opponent while being ready to defend it with dexterity. The footwork involved in Batto Do offers a superior form of concentration that improves focus and overall health and fitness.

For safety while learning, all students start with a wooden sword (bokken) before working up to a traditional weapon.

Sensei Julian Mallalieu is a 3rd Dan in Suishin Ryu Batto-Do and holds regular training sessions with in Tameside Karate. Shihan Fumio Demura founded the International Batto Do Alliance in 1989 to preserve the teachings of Toyama Ryu Batto Do.
