Welcome to our website Hikari dojo! 

At Hikari Dojo, we practice two of the oldest and most refined Japanese martial arts: Iaido and Jodo. For the past 16 years, we have steadily risen to become one of the most accomplished clubs in Europe, thanks to our consistent training, participation in international seminars, competitions, and examinations. 

We are proud to study under some of the most respected teachers from both Europe and Japan. Through their guidance and our dedicated effort, we represent our dojo at the highest level. From the very beginning, we guide our students with the same disciplined and focused approach, placing strong emphasis on correct posture, precise movement, body coordination, speed, and accuracy. Iaido and Jodo were developed in Japan during a time when strict discipline, deep respect for tradition, and refined etiquette shaped every aspect of life. These values are still present in the way these arts are taught today, and we fully embrace this traditional approach. By following these principles, our members develop not only physical skills but also mental resilience, focus, and self-confidence. Thanks to years of hard work and dedication, we have become the most successful club in the history of the Slovak Kendo Federation. Nowhere else in the country will you find multiple European champions in both Iaido and Jodo. 

We welcome all who are ready to work hard, value a personal approach to learning, and do not give up at the first sign of difficulty. If you're driven by a desire for personal growth and self-discipline, our doors are open. Curious to try? Your first week of training is absolutely free.
