How to join
Kendo is a great martial art to practice, anyone can do it! Young and old, men and women, boys and girls. It is great for cardiovascular exercise, it develops quick reflexes and will give you mental calmness in stressful situations.

To meet demand for beginners classes Dublin Kendo Kobukai is holding an 8 week beginner course every eight weeks. (see our calendar for next starting time)The goal of these courses is to get all students to pass the first grading for 6th Kyu. Beginner’s classes are held on Sunday mornings from 11:30-12:30 at Marino Institute of Education at Griffin Avenue.

We in Dublin Kendo Kobukai encourage all who are genuinely interested in practicing kendo to email us.

This beginners course will introduce new students to the art of Japanese Fencing. It is hoped that you will then continue with Kendo at a more advanced level.

Beginners are encouraged to attend all club activities so that they get to meet other members and see more kendo. But the focus will be each Sunday for beginners. Some of the things that the eight weeks course will cover are shown below for reference.

* Introduction, orientation, and etiquette.
* Basic footwork, Kata (basic forms of kendo).
* Basic cutting, footwork and correct distance.
* Basic understanding of "ki ken tai ichi" with okuri ashi (sliding footwork).
* Grading and graduation to more advanced class.

The fee for the whole course is 60 Euro and this will cover your insurance for one year and training fees. The reason for this policy is that we have to ensure that all who practice are covered by our insurance and that the club can cover the cost of hall rental and materials for practice. As there is a limited space on each course to guarantee please pay you fee to our bank account.
