What To Expect
Uncover Kendo's rich history: Learn about brief Kendo history, Reiho, refined behaviours for Kendo, and the Bushido Spirit. 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. Due to the difficulty of experiencing Kendo, changing clothes and taking pictures will be the main activities for children aged between three and five years old.

5.00Definitely a 5+/5 experience. My husband and I were fortunate enough to have a private lesson and had the best day. We were warmly welcomed to the Dojo by Toshi and his assistant and learnt about the history of Kendo. We then dressed in full protective armour and learnt some skills including practice etiquette, footwork techniques, and how to strike your opponent. Toshi was very encouraging and patient. We had lots of photos taken together with video footage of our experience. Would definitely do this again and highly recommend this experience.
