Kendo can give the impression of being very aggressive and demanding sport, but when you start to practice Kendo you will realise that it is not about your physical strength but about how your mind and body interact.

Kendo can be practiced by all ages, sizes and gender.

At Mumeishi we have a wide age range from 6 to 70+ years as well as many women Kendoka. Throughout the year Mumeishi kendo club runs a number of six week beginners course. This enables you to sample and start Kendo with no previous experience of martial arts.

The Course Includes:

Your own Shinai (Bamboo Sword)

3 months temporary membership to the British Kendo Association

During this course you will learn:

The basics of Kendo Etiquette of the Dojo.

How to hold and maintain your Shinai

Basic kamae (stances) and footwork.

Basic Cuts and attacks.

 

By the end of the course you we hope you will have developed the basics of Kendo and be on your way to putting on the club armour, available for your use.

We would also hope you would like to become a full member of the club and enjoy practising Kendo for many years.
