Kendo Introduction Course
Due to the nature of Kendo, we run a group Kendo Introductory course 3 x annually.
The aim of the course is to teach the fundamentals of Kendo and allow the students to develop their basic movements.
So, on completion of the 6 week course the students will have an understanding of Kendo and be able to participate in the main classes.
Courses take place three times annually.
January, Easter and September.
The next beginners course is due to take place in January 2027
.
The cost of the course is £35 which covers your annual membership of the club,
