​All welcome!

​Kendo, the way of the sword, is a Japanese martial art built on discipline, movement, and sparring with a bamboo sword (shinai). If you've ever been curious about it, this is your chance to try it firsthand.

​Our 'Come Try Kendo' session is a free trial open to anybody. No prior experience needed, just turn up.

​What to expect

​We'll provide a shinai for the day and walk you through the basics from the ground up, so there's nothing you need to bring or prepare. Just wear something sporty you can move freely in, and come ready to give it your all.

​If this session sparks something in you, our beginners' course continues every Saturday, and we'd love for you to keep training with us.

​We're looking forward to seeing you in the dojo!
