The company moved from Osaka Prefecture to Hyogo Prefecture (Kawanishi City and Itami City) on 2025/04/01. Please see the map at the bottom of this page for the detailed location.

In accordance with the guidance of the Agency for Cultural Affairs and the National Police Agency, we do not provide instruction in test cutting using a serious Japanese sword, except to our students and certain other people.

Isao Machii has made numerous appearances in various media!

A samurai training experience suitable for those with a penchant for the real thing, supervised by Isao Machii, the world's leading iaijutsu practitioner, who is also known for cutting 6mm BB bullets fired at high speed with a Japanese sword.

In Shushinryu Iaijutsu Hyoho, you can experience training in authentic Iaijutsu that does not damage the sword and does not rely on muscular strength.

Please come and learn the unique iaijutsu that Isao Machii, the founder of Shushinryu, has studied for many years and that you will never be able to experience anywhere else.

Our precise and advanced teaching techniques make it possible for even women with limited strength to learn with confidence, including beginners.

We also teach those who have doubts about their own iai or who are struggling with their own iai, regardless of the style.

In addition, as an inbound business, we hope to play a role in spreading knowledge of samurai etiquette, correct swordsmanship, and Japanese kobudo to foreign visitors to our country.

We are also available for consultation with travel agencies and tour planners, so please feel free to contact us.
