The sword that gives life.

Spring 2026, Tetsushinkan Student Ana Marambio travelled to Japan with her familly, She visited Shiseikan and joined their regular classes.
Ana's words:
I trained at Shiseikan for almost a week with different Senseis, and I was fortunate to observe a lesson taught by Inaba Sensei. Everyone was welcoming, while at the same time maintaining a serious and thorough approach to the practice of Kashima Shinryu-Aikido. It was an honour to train there, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn in such a wonderful environment, surrounded by such depth of knowledge and wisdom.
I hope there will be many more opportunities in the future to strengthen my relationship with Shiseikan Dojo and continue learning from its teachings and community, which Tetsushinkan is part of.
