Kendo (Beginner)

Draw your sword and face down your opponent, defeating their spirit before striking at their core. Kendo mean “the way of the sword.” Originally developed in Japan in the 15th century to train warriors, Kendo has gained worldwide popularity.

Modern kendo holds true to its traditional roots by teaching students to develop a strong spirit, healthy body, and sharp mind. Kendo has no physical limitations, and can be practiced by people of any age.
