Eira Culverwell – Finding Belonging Through Budo

But Eira’s story goes far beyond style. For over 14 years, she’s traveled throughout Japan, not just to train, but to connect with a culture that’s shaped her identity and spirit. Her journey is one of evolution, self-discovery, and finding a deeper sense of home through martial arts.
