Shinto-Ryu Iai-Battojutsu USA

With the upcoming political changes in the US, we at Japanese Fighting Arts NW need to be explicit that we are a safe space for all races, genders, ages, and sexual orientations. We will not tolerate intolerance and we promise you will not find a more welcoming space to train.

All humans deserve safety and respect especially in the face of ignorance, prejudice, and oppression.
