What we’re about
Sports Chanbara was established in Japan in 1971 as a sports and physical education program. The programs are lively, fast-paced, free-fencing bouts of physical chess that improves speed, agility, focus, endurance & psychomotor coordination.
While actively sharing Japanese culture and etiquette, SpoChan promotes bonding through progressive fitness and skills conditioning and is a discipline beneficial to active sportsmen as well as laypersons. Built upon martial philosophy, SpoChan develops character, co-ordination, and improved spatial awareness.
Various Japanese weapons systems are taught in the SpoChan syllabus using safe padded training weapons for full contact sparring. Techniques of the short and long swords (katana), twin swords, dagger, staff, spear and halberd are progressively introduced.
