Shidokan Nowadays...


Santoso Sensei and Dean Sempai

As it is tradition in Martial Arts, the students must preserve the heritage of their Master and their Dojo.
Shidokan is no exeption;  after Funamoto Sensei passed away, their closest students assumed the inmense responsability to carry on with his Legacy.

Santoso Hanitijo, Robert Miller and Dean Jolly, all students of Funamoto and Okimura Sensei, are the ones who lead the new Shidokan Generation.

There were tough times for Shidokan after Funamoto Sensei passed away, and for some years the Dojo kept a low profile in the Kendo community; But with great effort from all it’s members, "Shidokan Kendo and Iaido Club" has managed to recover it’s old strenght, the one that forged outstanding Kendokas all around Quebec and Canada.

Shidokan Kendo and Iaido Club; The new generation now trains as hard as it must be, within the facilities of the Concordia University - Loyola Campus.

Times might change and generations will pass, but Kendo and Iaido will remain the same and so the way it's teached:
Honor, Discipline, Perseverance, Respect. 		Class
