About Blake...
Hey, I’m Blake.
I’m a Renshi 6th dan with 27+ years of coaching experience—from university clubs in Japan and NZ to high-performance squads and 7 World Kendo Championships. I also hold a PhD in sport pedagogy and teach coach development at a world-class university.
But I’m not just about theory! I’ve coached in real, messy settings—crowded gyms, chaotic beginner sessions, and club nights where nothing goes to plan.
This 'kickstarter' toolkit blends cutting-edge research with real-world trial and error. It’s full of tested, practical ideas—so you don’t have to figure it all out the hard way.
If you want to run smoother sessions, keep students progressing, and stay sane doing it, this is a great place to start.
Catch you soon!
