Training at the dojo 5 days or more a week, Ryan Bellegante rapidly progressed in his training, and became an instructor in record time……but not without putting in all the hours of training and sweat equity needed to learn and own the basics. Opening his own dojo back home in Reno in 2008, Ryan added trips to Japan to study with Kuroda Tetsuzan sensei along with other senior Nami ryu instructors in the koryu Shinbukan Kuroda family arts. His dedication to the sword arts and all things Samurai is the gold Ryan has mined in his training, the culmination of a childhood dream turned into effort and delivered results.

If you are a young person of any age wanting to follow your dream, through the doors of time to train like Ryan in the arts of the Samurai, you can join his very personal school and training regimen in Reno, NV. You can make contact with Ryan Bellagante sensei through his web site at Mizuchi Dojo or by calling him at (775) 338-1772.
