Course Structure
| Beginners can expect to start by learning the basic footwork of Kendo, and basic cutting techniques using the shinai (bamboo sparring sword) and bokuto (wooden practice sword). This is learnt without armour in the first instance. Come second semester (January), you can expect to be wearing keikogi and hakama, the Kendo uniform. Shortly after this you can get into bogu (armour), apply all the basics you've learnt with the full kit, and start sparring with others! The beginners’ course also includes essential requisites for practicing Kendo, such as care and maintenance of equipment, and appropriate etiquette. |  |
