A non-profit organization dedicated to perpetuating the sword arts of Kendo & Iaido.
Industry Sheriff’s Kendo Dojo (ISKD) is a non-profit organization dedicated to perpetuating the sword art of Kendo.
We are a non-profit club (youth practice for free!) affiliated with and supported by the Industry Sheriff’s Youth Activities League (YAL). We are members of the Southern California Kendo Federation (SCKF) & the All United States Kendo Federation (AUSKF).
The concept of Kendo is to discipline the human character through the application of the principles of the Katana (sword).
The purpose of practicing Kendo is:
To mold the mind and body,
To cultivate a vigorous spirit,
And through correct and rigid training,
To strive for improvement in the art of Kendo,
To hold in esteem human courtesy and honor,
To associate with others with sincerity,
And to forever pursue the cultivation of oneself.
This will make one be able:
To love his/her country and society,
To contribute to the development of culture
And to promote peace and prosperity among all peoples.
(The Concept of Kendo was established by All Japan Kendo Federation in 1975.)
