Activity Information
A real kendo experience tour
Kendo is a traditional Japanese martial art as well as a contemporary competitive sport, using special swords to strike the officially permitted areas of the opponents body.
Through kendo, practitioners can learn about and hone the three virtues of unity of body and mind, proper etiquette and the lifelong path of the sword.
Experienced instructors will guide you through the manners and etiquette of kendo all the way to the proper striking and sparring techniques, finishing your training with a mini sparring game to test your skills and new knowledge.
The silence of the dojo, the solemn manners, the sound of clashing practice swords and echoing of the voices of the fighters...the honing of one's own skill, body and mind is truly an unforgettable experience.
