Tora Dojo is a uniquely special place for practicing Kendo at all levels in London. The friendship and mutual support between the group members is incredible, and it shows through the quality of the practice.

Everyone here is so warm, friendly, and patient :) I had been worried about joining a dojo after moving to a new city, and I am so grateful that the wonderful people here made the transition so natural and lovely.
