A Message from Dana Abbott
Behind each and every great person there has always been a mentor, teacher or instructor to guide them on their lives' path. This is very much the case with the Japanese and the Samurai mind set.
As your teacher I can mold you both in mind and body. Practical application and physical training provided by me will strengthen your mindset. I have spent a good portion of my life in the education of martial arts in Japan. That instruction allowed me to learn from the very best of Japanese masters. These masters physically practiced side-by-side with their students, as I shall with you.
Let me be your mentor and I will instill in you proficiency with the sword whether it is steel, wood, or bamboo. It will be my job to make sure you are on the right path and continue so. Even if you are a novice or have been practicing the sword for years it will be my endeavor to ensure your posture, presence and demeanor become strong and your mind and body function together.
During my presentations, courses and teachings I will demonstrate the sword through hands on experience. You will duplicate the techniques that you observe and learn. We will then take your best attributes and polish them while correcting any of your weak areas. Upon completion of my course you will have gained the confidence and sword proficiency you seek.
