History
The Kenseido Dojo was established in San Antonio in 1986 as the U.S. headquarters School of Kenseido representing Japan. Masami Nakahashi and Winslow Swart co-founded the dojo which continues to be fully accredited by the Hombu in Japan. Swart Sensei makes frequent trips to Japan to insure the quality of instruction here in the U.S. remains on par with Japan's high standards.
