Cascade Kendo-Kai

Cascade Kendo-Kai, established in 1988, is a kendo dojo in Mercer Island, WA, devoted to fostering personal growth and community service through the practice of kendo. Guided by the philosophy of "Katsu Jin Ken," which translates to "life-giving sword," the organization emphasizes the development of character and the cultivation of a better human being.

The dojo draws inspiration from the teachings of the late Rod Omoto Sensei, Kyoshi 7 Dan, who believed in the transformative power of kendo as a tool for self-improvement and service to others. Members are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the sword in their daily lives, promoting a journey of continuous growth and usefulness to their friends and community.
