We are part of an international family of dojos that practice Muso Shinden Ryu Iaido and Seitei Iai. Shin Bu Kan in the UK was founded by Sensei Victor Cook, 7th Dan Renshi, in 1979.
The main dojo is located in Brighton, West Sussex, and there are other Shin Bu Kan dojos in Southampton, Rochester, Portsmouth, and Barnstable, and South London. Shin Bu Kan dojo can also be found in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Serbia, Poland and Bulgaria.
Our students may take kyu and dan gradings under the auspices of the British Kendo Association. All students must be members of the BKA for insurance reasons.
