Kendo, meaning "Way Of The Sword", is a modern Japanese martial art, descended from the techniques and traditions of the Samurai. Kendo is a physically and mentally challenging activity that combines strong martial arts values with sporting-like physical elements. It is practiced by several million people, or "Kendoka", throughout the world. Kendoka train rigorously with the purpose of molding the mind and body, cultivating a vigourous spirit and striving for improvement in the art of Kendo. We are always happy for prospective members to come and visit one of our session to watch and get a feel for what we do.

The age limit for our club is 12 but we may accept younger people after an interview with you and a guardian. Wear clothing that you can move around in easily such as a t-shirt and tracksuit pants. Trying it out is free.
