Kendo or ‘the way of the sword’ is the art of Japanese fencing as practiced by samurai for centuries.
Cornwall Kendo Club welcomes all levels from complete beginners through to experienced practitioners to study the arts of the Japanese sword. Under the tutelage of 5th dan Phil Booth and other highly experienced kendo practitioners you can rise to the physical and mental challenge of Kendo. Learning this ancient Japanese art not only helps you keep fit but helps to teach respect and control of aggression. People of all levels of skill or physical ability are always welcome.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
After a free induction lesson, come and enjoy the physical challenge of our beginners course which includes a thorough introduction to kendo basics, fencing technique and Nihon Kendo Kata, with a final grading at completion. 8 week course costs £60.00. Suitable for all ages from 14 to 80yrs.
Other levels: Come to any or both of our twice weekly training sessions to learn new techniques and fence against other people of all levels. We also occasionally run an additional Saturday jigeiko session. Availability varies, so please enquire if you’re interested.
