Kendo at Kodokan<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a legacy spanning over 300 years, kendo is not just a sport, but a cultural activity deeply rooted in the traditions of Japan.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Kodokan, although we follow the old teachings of Japanese kendo, elements of which can often be seen in sword-fighting dramas and films. Sports lifestyles relevant to modern society\u2019s needs have also been introduced.<\/span>\u00a0This is<\/span>\u00a0very much in line with how kendo has developed in Japan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

About the training<\/strong><\/p>\n

The formal kendo exercises are kata using wooden swords in set forms, uninhibited fencing, wearing protective body armour (which are the target areas), and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>using shinai (bamboo foils) for both set exercises and free fencing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A valid strike in kendo must be made by a cutting action only; the shinai should not be used like a club or a stick, as this may hurt your opponent and is very much against the concept of kendo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kihon keiko ho, a different type of kata, is also taught and practised.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kendo is a unique and safe activity open to all age groups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our training methods ensure the safety of all participants, providing a secure environment for learning and growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We cater for students from 15 years and adults from 18 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Kodokan Instructors are skilled in kendo and insured to teach, hold DBS-Enhanced disclosures, and possess first aid qualifications. This ensures that our students receive the highest standard of instruction and care.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

We offer both 5-week adult and student (from 15 years) induction courses designed to introduce participants to kendo in a structured and supportive way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These courses cover the basics and are a great way to start your kendo journey.<\/span><\/p>\n
