A complete exercise concept for men and women of all ages based on the harmony of the mind and body. Kumite (sparring) and Bunkai (application) exercises in order to improve coordination skills. Our name Ken-Zen-Ichi is taken from a personal dedication from Kase Sensei and is literally translated from Japanese as "fist-meditate-one" but represents the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of practice combined as one.

Try not to be late. If you are late, bow in, and then quietly kneel near the entrance. Wait until the Sensei acknowledges you. Once he has, execute a kneeling bow, get up and quickly join the group. If you arrive just as everyone is kneeling at the beginning, wait, don't move and don't make any noise. Wait until warming-up starts, and bow in as described above.
