LEARN KENDO
Hands-on Learning - Kendo Beginner's Course
We hold 6-week Kendo beginners' courses for adults (aged 18 and over) starting in January/February and July/August each year.
The next upcoming beginner course will commence on Saturday 28 February 2026.
During the 6-week course you will learn the basics of Kendo, including etiquette, footwork and striking techniques. By the end of the course you will be ready to train in the traditional Kendo uniform and armour and you will be able to join our regular Wednesday and Saturday classes. The course fee includes your own shinai, the bamboo sword used in Kendo, and instruction from senior Dan members.
Please note, Kendo involves strenuous physical activity and may not be suitable for people with some health conditions.
Our courses are limited to 20 places and are frequently fully booked before we advertise them because we offer priority to people who have contacted us to express interest in learning kendo.
