Kendo Experience (Kendo striking practice): Wear Dogi/Hakama (Kendo uniform) and Kendo protective armours such as Men (Kendo mask), Kote (arm protectors), Do (torso protector), and Tare (leg protector). Use Shinai (bamboo sword) to strike each other. Strike and compete based on the match format.

5.00I had an incredible experience training at this kendo dojo. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, disciplined, and deeply respectful of kendo tradition. The instructors are highly skilled, patient, and passionate, making sure both beginners and advanced practitioners feel supported and challenged. The training is well-structured, with a strong focus on fundamentals, spirit, and proper form. Everyone at the dojo is friendly and encouraging, creating a sense of community that makes you want to keep coming back. If you’re looking for a place to seriously study kendo, build discipline, and train in an authentic and respectful environment, I can’t recommend this dojo enough. Truly a 5-star experience.

5.00It was a much hotter and more passionate time than I expected, because simply "playing" gave me enough vitality, and the feeling of good tension and relaxation will not be forgotten for long. Beyond the simple experience, the process of learning constraints and seeking deep respect for the other person and inner peace was really bright.
Inspection training ~ Enjoyable experience beginners are easy ~

5.00The instructor was really nice, helpful and encouraging. I felt he explained the techniques very well and he corrected our stands when we needed help. His wife is extremely nice and she gave us a brief history of the kendo. At the end, they offered us traditional snacks and green tea. Very nice people, would recommend.

5.00This was such a fun experience. Toshi took his time explaining the history of kendo as well as the etiquette used during matches in addition to the basics. We got to learn the basics and then try them out while sparring. I highly recommend
