Thank you once again to the CCBA for inviting us to perform at the August Moon festival. This community in Chinatown has supported us since the inception of our dojo, and we greatly value opportunities to further connect with all of the people and organizations in the area.

Special thanks to the Boston Herald for featuring us in their coverage of this event!

We hope everyone enjoyed learning to cut pool noodles and sharing a potluck lunch! Great Shinkendo and great food with an amazing group of students is always the best way to spend a Sunday.

We recently had the privilege to share Shinkendo and the philosophy of Japanese Swordsmanship with a 3rd grade class at the Eliot School in Boston. Thank you to the wonderful students and teachers at the Eliot School for an engaging and fun experience, and I hope everyone came away with a understanding of the ideology behind Japanese Swordsmanship. Be like a sword!

Great job to everyone who participated in Toyama Ryu grading! We are continuing to advance and the growth is noticeable!

The dojo has reopened after completion of renovations at the CCBA. Thank you to the CCBA for continuing to improve the space, and thank you to all of our loyal Shinkendokas for continuing to train with us at outdoor sessions and via Zoom. It’s good to be back!

Thank you to everyone for doing an amazing job during testing! It was great to share a meal with everyone and discuss future plans for Shinkendo!

Thank you to Boston College for inviting us to perform during the halftime of the Boston College Eagles vs. Pittsburgh Panthers Basketball game! We appreciated the receptive crowd and had a great time showcasing Shinkendo.

Thank you to all of our Shinkendokas for an amazing 2023 Winter grading! It’s always amazing to see everyone’s growth.

Shinkendo Boston will perform a live demonstration of Shinkendo in the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association's August Moon Festival on August 14th. The Festival is held in Boston's Chinatown on Beach Street.

While the August Moon Festival is a Chinese tradition and Shinkendo is a Japanese martial art, Shinkendo Boston fosters both local and international ties and celebrates diversity. We enjoy demonstrating in honor of a valued local organization's seasonal tradition.  

Our annual summer grading has just wrapped! Thank you to all of our students for their continued dedication!

Hello Shinkendokas!

We are extremely excited to officially announce that the Dojo and the CCBA are fully reopening to pre-COVID hours.

Masks are not required if you have been twice vaccinated.

Additionally, now that the Dojo is reopened, any prospective students are encouraged to contact us about visiting to observe a class.

We look forward to getting back in the Dojo with all of you!

Hello Shinkendo Practitioners!

Even though the Dojo is currently closed due to COVID-19, we have coordinated to hold an open space training session in Quincy’s Merrymount Park.

The event will be a great way for students to get feedback on their technique and for instructors to gauge the level of students. As a result, it is highly recommended that all students attend.

The class will also be streamed via Zoom and the link will be provided to all current students.

Masks and social distancing required.

We look forward to seeing you all again!

Please join Shinkendo Boston in honoring member Leeon Bacchus as he receives the coveted rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America.

Eagle Scout is the highest achievement or rank attainable in the Boy Scouting program. The rank was founded over 100 years ago and only four percent of Boy Scouts attain this rank. The Eagle Scout must demonstrate Scout Spirit, an ideal attitude based upon the Scout Oath and Law, service, and leadership, characteristics valued by Shinkendo and most definitely displayed by Leeon.

The reception will be held on May 19 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the Hingham Fire Department, 339 Main St. Hingham, MA, 02043. We look forward to seeing you there.
