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.
