Head Instructor Of The Martial Arts Of Shinkan-ryū Kenpō

Saneteru Radzikowski founded Shinkan-ryū Kenpō with a clear vision: to create an accessible path for students worldwide to learn and master the authentic techniques of Budō and Japanese swordsmanship. His journey in martial arts began in 1993 with Yang family Tai Chi Chuan, laying a foundation in traditional Asian martial arts that would shape his future teaching philosophy.

In 2003, his introduction to Kendō and Iaidō ignited a passionate pursuit of Japanese sword arts that continues to this day. This dedication led him to Japan in 2010, where he immersed himself in the study of classical martial traditions (koryū bugei), including:

- Shindō Munen-ryū Kenjutsu
- Musō Shinden Ryū Iaijutsu
- Shintō Musō-ryū Jojutsu
- Suiō-ryū Iai-kenpō

Drawing from this diverse background, Mr. Radzikowski developed Shinkan-ryū Kenpō to preserve the essence of traditional Japanese swordsmanship while making it accessible to modern students. His approach combines historical accuracy with practical application, ensuring students receive both authentic training and practical skills.

Beyond his martial arts expertise, Saneteru is a certified Massage & Craniosacral Therapist, bringing a deep understanding of body mechanics and movement to his teaching. This unique combination of skills allows him to better guide students in developing proper technique and maintaining physical well-being during training.

Through Shinkan-ryū Kenpō's online platform, Mr. Radzikowski has created a structured learning environment that makes traditional Japanese sword arts available to dedicated students around the world, while maintaining the high standards and respect for tradition that these arts demand.

We are not just picking up weapons to swing around and cause harm. There is more to learn. Good technique and a true and honest heart are integral to the study and application of the sword.

~Saneteru Radzikowski
