Who are we?
GKA is a dojo and community where you can learn and deepen Kendo, a traditional Japanese martial art, which descended from samurai swordsmanship (kenjutsu) and uses bamboo swords (shinai) and protective gear (bogu) in Atlanta Georgia since 1977. We have students of all ages and backgrounds. Come join us!
