Welcome to Cincinnati Shintaedo Academy

As a brand new organization, we don’t have a legacy... yet. But every legacy has a first chapter—and this is yours as much as it is ours. With years of martial arts training behind me, I’ve seen firsthand how many modern schools become confined by rigid curriculums, prioritizing repetition over real-world application. We’re here to change that. While we deeply honor the roots of traditional martial arts, our mission is to forge confident, capable, and disciplined fighters by focusing on what each individual is truly built to do.But beyond physical skill, we’re building something more: a thriving, intentional community where character is developed, purpose is sharpened, and lifelong bonds are formed. This is more than a school—it’s the beginning of a legacy. One we get to write together.
