The VNR was formed as part of the family of martial arts, including kendo, iaido and jodo, which together make up the Melbourne Budokai.

VNR members train in the Kenshikan Dojo (training hall) which is centrally located on the fringe of the Melbourne CBD. Naginata instruction is provided in English with Japanese.
The qualified instructor is recognised by the International Naginata Federation, the Australian Naginata Federation and the All Japan Naginata Federation.
