Mr. Poitras has been studying and teaching Shotokan Karate-do for over 25 years. In that time he took a big interest in the art of Japanese swordsmanship. He joined the Boston Kendo Club back in 1989 when he began working in the Boston area. After moving out to Acton in 1992, he founded the Doshi-Kai Kendo and Iaido Club in 1994. He currently holds the rank of Yondan (4th Degree Blackbelt) in kendo and Godan (5th Degree Blackbelt ) in iaido. Several members of the Doshi-Kai Dojo hold Dan ranks in kendo and iaido, as well as many other disciplines such as aikido, karate-do, kyudo, jodo, and naginata. Doshi-Kai and all of the students are members of the All United States Kendo Federation under the regional direction of the Eastern United States Kendo Federation.
