Jinenkan Tatsumaki Dojo

About

Classical Japanese martial arts are the focus at Jinenkan Tatsumaki Dojo, a martial arts club based in Aberdare, Rhondda Cynon Taf. The dojo (a Japanese term for training hall) welcomes anyone with a genuine wish to study the traditional fighting arts of old Japan, and its website explains the arts practised, who the group are and what training involves.

Traditional martial arts dojos generally place emphasis on etiquette, careful repetition of technique and steady progress over time, rather than competition. For people in South Wales curious about the historical roots of Japanese martial arts, a classical dojo like this can offer a thoughtful and disciplined way to train.
