Darren has trained with me in sword work for over a decade; in that time, he has mastered the concepts of Kenjutsu & sword combatives and has become adept at both constructed drills as well as free-flow training. His skill and experience with the sword makes him a valuable representative of our art.

Darren Friesen is certified to teach and evaluate students in our Kenjutsu style.

I also trained under Darren, learning Arnis and self-defense groundwork; during this training, I found Darren to be a thorough professional, having both vast technical knowledge and a solid understanding of practical applications for common scenarios. He was able to adapt teaching techniques to accomodate both different learning styles as well as varying skillsets and interest areas.
