Basic

Our Basic class introduces students to the fundamentals of Kendo, including proper etiquette, footwork, posture, and striking technique. Emphasis is placed on the cultural foundations of Kendo, as well as safe and effective use of the shinai (bamboo sword). This class is ideal for beginners and those building a solid foundation.

Intermediate

In the Intermediate class, students begin training in bogu (Kendo armor) and apply the techniques learned in the Basic class. The focus shifts to controlled strikes, timing, distance, and defensive movements. Students will start engaging in structured drills that simulate real combat scenarios.

Advanced

Advanced classes are designed for experienced kendoka looking to refine their skills and deepen their understanding of Kendo strategy and spirit. Training includes high-level technique, sparring (keiko), and preparation for tournaments and rank advancement. This class fosters both mental and physical discipline at the highest level.
