Youshinkan Dojo 養心館道場

Matsuri Summer Festival Japanese Event Vancouver 2025 Powell Street Festival - Yoshinkan Dojo

Youshinkan Dojo practices Kendo, a traditional Japanese martial art that aims to cultivate not only technical skill and physical strength, but also mental discipline. The ultimate purpose of Kendo is to develop one’s character and attain a sense of “humanity.” The dojo invites audiences to discover the essence of Kendo through this demonstration. 

At Youshinkan Dojo, members range in age from 5 to over 70 and train actively at the Vancouver Japanese Language School and Japanese Hall (VJLS-JH). Rooted in the principle of the sword, the concept of Kendo is to discipline human character through dedicated practice. Training emphasizes both physical development and inner growth — fostering self-control, focus, and respect for others. 

日本の伝統文化である剣道は、身体や技術を鍛えると共に、精神面を磨くことを目的としています。剣道の最大の魅力は、「人間力」をつけることです。是非、この機会に、剣道という武道を知ってください。 

バンクーバー日本語学校にて5歳から70歳以上まで稽古しています。剣道の概念は人間形成です。私たちは体力を向上させるだけでなく、自制心を強化し、他人への礼儀、礼節、思いやりを身に付けます。
