CLASSES

NEW TO KENDO

Classes are taught to a roughly 10 week curriculum with each week consisting of a new unit covering the lesson for that week. The class moves as fast or as slow as the students can manage and class content is adjusted as required.

​

You do not need to bring any equipment to your first class. Just wear loose fitting clothing appropriate for exercise ( e.g., sweats). At the first class, beginners will need to pay an additional equipment fee of $60 for a wooden practice sword (bokken) and a bamboo practice sword (shinai).  Optional sword bags will also be available for an additional $10.

ADVANCED CLASSES

Students progress to the point where they are ready to wear protective armor (bogu) and begin fencing with their instructors and fellow students.
